Trevally under Flinders Pier
I’ve not dived since May, so finally getting back into the ocean again was good.
This was a shore dive and also a marine-life survey (for Reefwatch Victoria) so underwater slates and cameras (for counting and identification purposes as well as capturing the aethetics) were in action.
The dive site was Flinders Pier, known for having a very large resident sting-ray, which did a few passes and completely dwarfed us. Flinders in a shallow dive (max 5m), and so is nice and long and easy. A perfect dive after a break. Apart from the ray, the highlights were a spectacular nudibranch and several weedy sea-dragons loaded with eggs.
