Spot was with us instantly hoping for some attention as usual (high maintenance these snappers....) and we had a good selection of blennies and gobies hiding among the hard corals in the shallows.
No sightings of big stuff while we were in but then again, we weren't really looking for any so that elusive hammerhead that's been spotted a few times recently will just have to wait for another day.
Some nice banded jawfish were more than happy to pose for a while but no eggs just yet though.
Best part of the dive was spending a good portion of it just hanging out with a leopard flatworm, which I don't see enough of over here. It was running around the place in one of the sand chutes and made for a great time, think it was about 30-25 minutes just watching and taking pictures. Well worth getting in the water for. It's not always about the big things (so women keep telling me......).
And we capped it of with a nice little flamingo tongue cowrie climbing up a sea fan with a little difficulty but it made it up there eventually. You can do anything when you put your mind to it.
Getting out at the end of the dive proved a real who's who as everyone seemed to be turning up out of nowhere. Captain Tilley was there with his free diving mob, Captain James was borrowing the pool and Fulvio was herding his students into the car park. Just as well we were getting out as everyone was getting in........
