Huge seas since last Thursday evening, so no diving anywhere till yesterday. Went in 9 mins before high but the incoming current stopped about 10 mins early and outgoing started about 15 mins early. Actually got quite strong after about 15 mins of changing. Viz 3-4 metres and warm 21.0C. Went in at pool and over wall, only went to last bommie and plaque bommie, then normal. No nudibranchs at all, a few octopus, large numbrays, one medium wobbegong shark, one moray eel. Lots of luderick and seapike, one pineapplefish. Could not look for anglerfish as my right ear would not clear near the end. A very average dive really. Visibility poor.
