| A giant jelly as we first descended. One of about a dozen we saw! |
This reef offered a variety of cracks and swim throughs. Great fun and each one different! |

|
| I was fascinated watching this jelly navigate as it bumped into the kelp. |
It took about 2 minutes for it to work around the kelp. |
Some wiggles.... |
|
|
|
| Propulsion helps.... |
And a twist.... |
Finally almost free... |

| Surfacing... |
Jelly bum |
Perspective. These were quite large jellies. |
|
|
|
| A lovely anemone that I cannot properly place a name for. |
Another fine crack in the pinnacle - this one with a 5 foot orange sponge. |
Soft corals decorated the next one. We came back around and swam through this one again. Barely wide enough to fit the camera through! |
|
|
|
| A trio of crinoids. |
Variety of soft corals and anemones. |
Tangle of corals and hydroids |
|
|
|
| The sea fan "gate" to the finest canyon on the whole dive! |
Dijana enters the canyon! |
A peak at one corner of this lovely swim through. |

|
| A pouty anemone with Pisces Divers over head... we were in the water over an hour and they patiently waited. ( : |
Our "rescue" on the dive! |
Strawberry anemones decorate a small overhang shelf. |
|
|
|
| A mess of large tunicates mid-way through my favorite channel. |
A friendly chap visited us many times on the dive. He loved the camera! |
Envy... I wish I could do that! |
|
|
|
| hello! |
Dijana cruises nearby during our highly entertaining shallow stops. |
I loved this tunicate. |
|
|
|
| It had lots of buddies. |
Dijana and Sonya - giggling our way to the end of her first dive in South Africa! |
Cape urchin with sunhat. Too cute! |
|
|
| The end of the line.... this was a hard dive to leave. Maybe because I had to go to work afterward instead of doing the 2nd dive! |
Our buddy came through to say goodbye! |
