Diver's Notes

2nd dive for the day at shelly beach. This dive was on the left side, along cabbage tree/fairy bower. Visability had reduced on this dive with the incoming tide. Heaps of juvenile dusky whalers on this dive. lost count how many we saw. large school about half way though, which made brett a bit uncomfortable so went across to the bay to the right hand side. saw a nice fiddler ray and some large flathead taking this route.
