Kirsty and I headed to Ricketts for what was probably the last 30° day for the season. We caught up with Ivan Lee, who showed us how to find the "Boys' Lounge", the ledge off Teahouse Reef that is a common spot to find Port Jackson Sharks. This time there were at least 12 sharks there, many of them quite young.
We didn't see many Snapper on this dive, but there were lots of Zebrafish, and quite a few Silver Sweep. We spotted a couple of Magpie Perch, which we don't see very often at Ricketts, and also saw several Old Wives and Dusky Morwong (including one juvenile). Lenny, the resident Yellow-saddled Wrasse also made an appearance.
