16 December 2006

Big seas outside restricted us to Botany Bay on December 16, 2006. So we dropped anchor on this reef which is one of our favourites. The viz was very poor- only a couple of metres really. Our anchor was on top of the reef at the SW end, wedged in one of the many channels that run across this reef. Most are several metres deep but not wide enough to dive in. We basically followed the sand line and were rewarded with the smallest weedie sea dragon we had ever seen - clearly a juvenile. There were lots of other weedies here - it seems a popular spot for them. We counted at least 10 different ones on this dive. We checked out the slate which is very overgrown now.
