First dive of the trip, but not brilliant except for the fish life. The dive was a bit surgey and vis was around 10m.
Massive school of kingfish as we hit the water, followed by bastard trumpeter and then big silver drummer. The usual wrasse were there as well.
It was mostly bare boulders, which turned out to be pretty much the norm for the area. I'm glad the fish were there or it would have been pretty boring.
