Current and surge in The Crevice make a good thrill ride. Nick hovers in The Arch; not an easy feat. Due to camera problems he is a spotter when not practicing hovering.
The Crevice opens into Crescent Bay to the north. We found a relaxed scorpionfish at the mouth of The Crevice on this side. Scorpionfish are common at this site.
Four foot guitar fish make any dive a winner. We followed this individual over the top of the reef for half an hour. It settled in a swim through cave and I was able to take this shot.
Back in The Crevice we took a closer look at the walls. Yellow sulfur sponges are common. We slowed the pace and began to absorb detail. This is when we began to find nudis.
Here is a close up of Tylodina fungina, the mushroom cap sidegill. Look closely and the eyespots are visible.
Many thanks to Nick for the patience to explore at a slug's pace. It is a pleasure to see all the big and small creatures that a site has to offer.
