Comments: Went down anchor line into stiff current which dogged us and kept air consumption high throughout dive. Came upon a ray under a rock then turned to current side of stack. Scads of fish, schools remarkably dense. Once came at me and diverged around. Triggers not aggressive. Green and honeycomb morays. Big bat fish. Beautiful white, orange, blue, purple soft corals. At surface, saw a pod of dolphins break water simultaneously between boat and stack, but divers down didn't see them.

Surface interval duration planned: 2 hours

Surface interval duration actual: hour 30

Comments: The usual dive up the headland and back out. Came upon another ray in a rock. Found a turtle with a ramora on its back. A second ramora came up under Tom, huge one. Other than that, heading into cove was not all that special. Came up to 12 meters for return to boat and dive got pretty spectacular, with the soft corals, morays, schools of fish. Quite pleasant just taking it all in. We cheated on air, getting down to maybe 30 bar each, but not using all that much air last 15 min of dive. Tom was comfortable with that. We reached the tip of the peninsula before feeling current and surfaced soon thereafter for a swim back to the boat.
