Diver's Notes

Marine Reserve and Green Buoy Reotahi

Dived Marine reserve buoy on outside of island.Found a good lure on the chain.

Then Dad towed us to the green buoy. Vis was pretty bad. Went down the big chain but no lures. Got to the bottom and found an anchor chain buried but couldn't lift it out so will have to go back to recover it.

Dived around big rocks, lots of fish and saw four vests and a school of kingis circled us. Simon annoyed he forgot the go pro.
