Another great afternoon to get wet at Bare Island.  We dropped off the South East end of the island at close to low tide.  Viz was quite good.  We immediately found the anchor, shrouded in bright green weed.  Then back and a very slow swim along the sand line.  There was nudies a plenty, Maori wrasse,  stripeys and lots more.  Towards the turn to go back up under the bridge we came across an octopus out hunting.  It took a liking our strobes and reached out and grabbed mine, then when I pulled my strobe back, it reached out for Wayne's.  It was quite fascinating to watch and play with.  We went under the bridge, then circled around looking for the outboard motor. We didn't find it.  An easy climb out at the ramp and we were done.  Surprisingly there was only one other pair of divers around.
