My next dive of the day was "around the block", where we entered the bay on the left of the snorkel trail and then dived around to the bay on the right of the snorkel trail. However, this time I was diving with some people new to the trail and they (inadvertently) took a shortcut through the shallows of the rocks between the two bays.

I didn't mind at all because being in the shallows makes for a different dive and I even saw a Green-boned Butterfish for the first time at the site. It wasn't easy to spot!

Spot the Purple (Green) Wrasse.

At the end of the dive, there was a small school of Yelloweye Mullet just below the surface.
