Making our way back from the Mikhail Lermontov, the second dive of the day was at Black Head. The site turned out to be home to a handful of carpet sharks. I found the first one sleeping under some kelp.

The next one was swimming towards me and I only got a shot as it passed by.

Another one was asleep with its head under a rock.

Yet another one was asleep with a variable triplefin sitting on its head.

I even found a nice clown nudibranch and a marblefish.
