This was our first dive at the newly named Nurse Rock, I think it's also known as Wolf Rock.
I was very surprised at how busy the boat was. We had two drops, the first was a bit of a schmozzle where we didn't even see any sharks, but the second was much better and we saw two big nurses.
Other highlights were:
- Octopus
- Elizabeths Chromadoris Nudibranch - apparently very common.
- Huge school of Trevally
The water was cool, so we decided to use our hoods on the second dive. One woman was wearing a dry suit, and our dive guide was wearing an 8mm suit! - Crikey I didn't think it was that cold. My wetsuit is a 3/2. Having said this I was feeling the cold but it wasn't intolerable.
I dived nitrox on my first tank, but air on my second because my second nitrox tank was only half full which was a bit disappointing. I seemed to suck more gas on the second dive, I definitely think I prefer nitrox on air, for this reason, and also because I seem to be less exhausted after diving.
