Diving at Enclosure Bay

Finally, the weather is good enough for us to explore the underwater scene of Enclosure Bay, Waiheke. The bay is shallow about - 3 meters, and enclosed. Thus, the condition in the bay is great! There were kelps everywhere, and lots of life - triple fins fishes (however, did not manage to get any pic of them...needs a macro lens), starfish, cushion urchin, crabs, sea cucumber etc. Rumors from the locals is that there are seahorses in the bay too, but we did not manage to see any. Outside the bay, there is another small "island" which is approximately 12 meters deep. We did not venture out of the bay today because we did not have a buoy, and there are boats around. We managed to take a few photos with my crappy camera, and after spending an hour poking around the cervices, we called the dive because we were cold. We will be back soon to explore the deeper reefs. :) There is nothing better than just to kit up, drive 5 mins, and drop into the water. Be back home after the dive, and have a beer on the deck while waiting for the pork chop cooking in the oven :D
