Cape Banks Caverns 24-02-07

Late start today. Long Bay has been the choice but launching at low tide is not easy so we went for Foreshore drive. Our two dives for the day were Cape Banks Caverns and Minmi Trench. We'd done both before but with fairly flat seas these were looking good. Cape Banks has lots of swim throughs, some quite large with multiple entries. At the anchor, resting on a flat rock outcrop was an angel shark. Don't see these very often. With the water surface temperature at 19^oC, we were shocked that it was only 14^oC at the bottom. Shortly after we had an encounter with a juvenile PJ shark, not bigger than 500mm. There are lots of fish here - the rock formations rising from around 22m at the sand to 12m on top of some of them. Masses of boulders make this an interesting site, and being able to go through numerous swim throughs is exciting. On 37% NItrox we did 54mins, ave depth 15.6m.
