Calm seas but very slight E shop which made it annoying coming out of Port Hacking and at anchor as side on. Very slight current from N down to 14 m then nothing. Viz was at least 10 to 12 metres but milky. Anchor was on reef top so had to drop it over wall and then move to a good spot. Then up Split to N end and back outside. Hundreds of mado at the end of the Split. Back to anchor and then thousands of yellowtail. Went to the Tunnel and then to Cave. Bastard trumpeters and red morwong in Cave. Back via the rear crack, some more trumpeters and morwong at the end. A few blue morwong seen but no tiger anemones or donuts. Spent last bit around anchor and then up. No whales seen or heard today. A good dive. Visibility good.
