Slightly tricky entry due to swell, but awesome visibility! Descended at the buoy then followed the line to the postbox where we took some underwater pictures all dressed in our Santa costumes. From there we followed Klaus to the left (as seen facing the ocean) until we go to the drop-off, then followed that all the way around the bay. Klaus pointed out a quite large flounder. Eventually we reached the cave and saw Oleg at the pinnacle. Didn't see the wrasse though. Followed the line back up to the exit and did our safety stop in 5m checking out the nooks and crannies between the rocks.

Buddy-dived with Phil, but tagged along with Florine and Shengnan. Florine had told us about a great site with large soft coral. Had to wait a little while for Shengnan to sort out her buoyancy, then for a first stop we headed to the postbox. I posted a card to Tanya and another card which I had taken down from another diver and nearly lost! We then swam to the cave, had a poke around that, then kept going. I was a little confused because when we looked at the map, Florine had insisted that was the spot. We kept following Florine until Shengnan was down to 110 bar, at which point I signalled that I would take Shengnan back, but it got lost in translation and the entire group turned around. Found a huge anemone with lots of clownfish, a couple of the standard ones and a big group of the smaller black-and-white ones. I had always thought these were the young, but Florine later said they're a different species. We then spent a very long time at ~5m; in retrospect we should have spent some more time elsewhere as we all came back with over 60bar left.
