OP
Positively freaky on Inchcape 2 this morning.
We could see the wreck from the surface and the water temperature was 30C at the bottom
Lots of this reddish stuff all over the wreck over the past month, a few nudis appear to be feeding on it.
Martini Rock also had good vis, but as usual I get distracted by the small stuff

Still cold !
24 degrees at The Blocks and at Inchcape 10
We were initially scheduled to dive at Paradise Reef
But we agreed to go to The Blocks instead - 22 to 24 meters
So decided to skip the 5mm and go with my skin suit
Not un-divable but we did get cold
Saw a massive Crocodile Fish - about 1.3 meters long and 40 cm wide

27C today. Was much higher last week. We have much less humidity than you do in general.
OP
First dives back on the east coast in over a month and a tad colder than I expected last Saturday at 25C when wearing a 3mm. Switched to my 5mm on Sunday.
Found an interesting nudi on Martini Rock
Phestilla melanobrachia
Also a ghost goby on a white sea pen
Otherwise it was the usual suspects apart from a Dendrodoris nigra on Inchcape 1, but I didn't get a decent shot of it worth of posting.

OP
Yesterday's dives were warm with bottom temps around 27/28C at Ruby Reef and Inch 10. Vis was rubbish on Inch 10 though, but quite a few nudis around.
That said, the still to be identified 10mm nudi on Ruby Reef was a good find by my buddy.
Favourite shot though is this Trunk Fish
Slight current when we went down on the first dive and we were dropped in the wrong place and had to get a tow to the shotline as the surface current was not running in the same direction as the waves, very odd.
