Diver's Notes

Belmar house reef. Easy access via steps. Cylinders are available at the dock.
Swam toward a large school of bigeye scad at about 3.5m. Large barracuda cruising in and out of bait ball. Made himself known to us. He was definitely not happy we were hanging about. Swam straight toward Katrina and Jeanette. We decided to leave the area and headed out over the reef and took a leisurely swim along the reef. On our return I spotted cuttlefish 6 of them hanging like a fleet of alien craft at 2m The swam toward Jeanette in a straight line.
