Got to jump in yesterday. Despite dire weather, the Vis was actually fine. Which is a shame as I didn't take my camera.

Needless to say, the site in real life is not very well captured by camera, when you first jump in and descend over a massive bed of spider crabs, it's a little freaky! Buoyancy control is a must.

Here's some photo's and videos that someone else posted from a couple of days ago

Thank you. Someday I'd like to see that in person. And you made me laugh imagining what would happen if you got wonky and sank :)

That ray munching the crab at about 2:30 is awesome!!


Yeah it was pretty cool! Thanks for the replies Alcina, 300 Bar.





(Haven't found it too too friendly in some threads of the Aussie section. What a shame.)
