Diver's Notes

Poor vis up to 5m.
Lots of Port Jackson sharks and flatheads in the shallow. Blue Groper wanted some attention. The usual wrasses and fish plus a pygmy leather jacket.
Tried GoPro for the first time but the poor vis made this a green challenge. Need to buy magenta filter for Sydney diving.
