This was our second dive for the day. We were able to get closer to the small schooling fish, but still can't identify them. We saw somne Ocean Jackets feeding off the end of the pier, and we went to check on the Pale Octopus in the tyre between the pier and Elsa's reef. Kirsty found a beautiful small fish that we think is a juvenile Barber Perch, and I spotted a couple of Castelnau's Wrasse. They're easy to identify because of their peculiar bobbing motion when swimming.
