Free dive, second for July 2013.

For this day the club members that turned wanted to look at three areas, one for some red algae and then onto looking at some yellow caw hermits for clean up crew, varied sponges, blennies, triple fins and auzy acans.
The weather was fine and warm; the water was cold and quite dirty with just 2 metres visibility.
The following photos are from the areas we visited.

Limpets high and dry on a rock.


Still no idea of this algae’s name that from our experience, is only found at one of the sites visited.
