I was on leave and Wayne was looking at doing a twilight dive with his friend Robert. I couldn't resist but wanted to do 2 dives.  I headed for Gordon's Bay.  I haven't dived it in ages but the seas were roaring into it.  So Camp Cove was sheltered from the SE swell and it was superb.  I did not go out that far, but found heaps of fish around the rocks just past the small swim through on the East side.  Groper and stripeys, cardinals, heaps of goatfish and magpie mowong.  Cardinalfish hung under a rock ledge.  Hulafish and lots more.  Camp Cove is only shallow and the viz wasn't brilliant but I floated beside a rock ledge and watched and photographed the goatfish sitting on the rocks in groups.  On the way back a pipefish passed me but it was too quick for a pic.
