Out to the Island Bay Snorkel Trail for an evening dive.

Island Bay

Me and my buddy spent the first half of the dive very shallow looking for an octopus in the area. No luck. The only thing I found was this wandering anemone.

The usual suspects were out, which is always great to see.

Blue Moki

Blue Cod

Crayfish

This school of fish also visited us.

I have a bad habit of overshooting the beach where we enter the Snorkel Trail and today was no different. Only this time I overshot it by so much, we wound up out by the baitshed one bay over. Under the water, I was surprised to see the hull of a boat. We were already pretty shallow so I surfaced to see where we were and, sure enough, I could see baitshed nearby. Fortunately, we both had plenty of air left so a short surface swim got us back to the beach.
