Our first dive was at the Cod Sanctuary. Rankin cod, flutemouth, schools of trevally, unicornfish, parrotfish and wobbegong sharks kept us smiling through the whole dive. We also enjoyed a ton of colourful, small stuff: six different kinds of nudibranchs, waving featherstars, a free swimming flatworm that didn't show any interest in landing anywhere.

Dive two was at Keyhole and the soft corals were amazing. There were tons of fish here, too. Schools of baitfish & big eyes screened the reef, silvery schools of barracuda hung over the sand. Pairs & small groups of black & white moorish idols & bannerfish flitted over the top of the reef. A huge cobia snoozed in the sand, presumably waiting for something huge to come along.

We all snorkelled at Turtle Bay and though the turtles were less abundant than usual (only three today!), there were so many small reef sharks, stars & stripes pufferfish, blue-spotted rays, bright green damsels, orange anemonefish and other eye-catching fishes it was still awesome!
