Site: Anchor Reef
In - 6:20
Out - 7:05
Average depth - 18 m
Visibility - 20 m ->, 21 m |

Probably the nicest dive of the weekend. Stefan DM'd. Only about 6 people on the boat. Drifted down the reef and saw the anchor. Lots of juvenile fish, more than at any of the other reefs. Honeycomb Morey Eel. Saw Bass sucking in sand and spiting it out again. Must ask Penny about this behaviour. Saw Octopus in a hollow. Jeanette landed on 50 bar early so I gave her my octo (as we briefed). Had to go up soon anyway as times/tables, were beginning to conflict. Definitely must dive this reef again. Jeanette seemed to really enjoy this dive.
