On Saturday, 26 March, I did a couple of dives with Stephen Kuipers, off his mate's boat, looking for scallops. There weren't that many around, and most of those that we did find were quite small. There were lots of Stingarees on the bottom, and a few flathead. Visibility on the first dive wasn't fantastic, so we made this a short dive.

We moved up the coast a bit, towards Blairgowrie, for our second dive. Ther were more scallops here, but most were still small. Lots of Comb Jellyfish floating around, and a beautiful Gurnard. The visibility was better here, and the bottom also looked more pristine.
