Diver's Notes

Buddied w/ Beth. Much smaller group, just us, X & Rodolfo (leader). Great dive :) over the drop off from 12 to 20ish m, loads of life, primarily under rocks! Same fish as before, plus a Great Rock Fish (under a rock!!), more octopus, huge moray eels, a cigalis (Cape Town lobster), langoustine, spiny lobster, barracuda, 2x John Dory, dentex, more nudibranch of various colours/shapes, more bream, picarel, cardinal fish, damsel fish... The usual! Suit didn't leak again :) cool end, swimming out away from the wall into the blue at about 5m. Great finish to 3 good days diving :)
