This was to be one of our best dives at Magic Point. We
always dive Magic Point early to beat the "tourists" who are dumped on site by
operators such as Pro-Dive.
Today, February 19, 2011 the water is warm, calm and visibility
is excellent. We can see the boat above us from 20m. We head to the
main cave where we are blessed with 4 GNS. There is also plenty of other
fish around the cave. After around 10 mins 3 other divers join us, all
with camera gear. We head off to check out the second cave to the east.
Here there were 6 GNS of various sizes, including one very large one. They swam
around the cave, ascending a few metres, then out and around the rocks and back.
I think this cave is better when there are GNS around than the main cave.
It is really not much more than an overhang but has a great variety of fish
life.
We also found 3 wobbiegongs of good size. A wonderful dive
- one of the best at this site.
