Other Observer Comments: Water very bitty although the colour is returning to everything. A lot of spider crabs and a lot more fish in general. The large number of nudi's we saw on the last dive were not present this time. Great to see our first cuttlefish, a large one at that but very skittish and shot off straight away. Hard exit due to very low tide!
