November 16 is a club dive but most of the other boats pulled
out. We have Corey and Leo with us. It was a slow trip down to Magic
Point from Port Botany. But once there we were quickly settled and the viz
looked good.
We were the only boat there and the 6 GNS at the cave
simply glided around. A dark coloured juvenile was quite inquisitive
towards us, at one stage passing right below me, well within touching distance.
A blue devil fish loitered in the left side of the cave, presenting itself for
photos. On the way across to the second cave we came across 2 wobbies. one
in the hollow that always seems to have a wobbie in it and another in a small
gap in the rocks.
At the second cave a line GNS disappeared quickly when we
arrived. Two cuttles hovered in cave and a pair of banner fish as well.
We headed back to the main cave and I just hung there, not
moving. The dark juvenile came very close under me at that point. I
continued to hover until Wayne came across and called me to ascend. It was
a great dive. Sadly I became sea sick and had to sit out the second dive.
