Diving Enclosure Bay

It was a great day today. No wind, and the surf is way down. We decided to go and dive the Enclosure Bay again (our local Waiheke shore dive site). We decided to pay the outside reef a visit this time. We swam to the exit of the bay ans descend down there. I ran a reel to make sure we came back to the exact place, and not get swept away by the current. It was approximately 300m to the shallow end of the outside reef. The two sites were separated by a stretch of sand bed. The moment we tied in, I spotted a nudibranch (I do not know too much about the species of nudibranch), Hannah spotted a seahorse! This is the first seahorse we see in the wild, and we were REALLY excited! The reef was full of life - fishes (snapper, wrasses, triplefins, and others) sea urchins, starfish, nudibranch etc. The deeper end of the reef will probably slope down to about 12m (that's what we heard from the locals). We will try to verify that the next time. Great to have such a wonderful site just minutes away from our place. After the dive, there are still time to be back and enjoy a glass of Gin and Tonic in the sun.
