Dive 1 - Cawsand Bay

Disappointed that we hadn't been able to get out to the wrecks but glad that we could at least get into the water, we descended with SMB into kelp with gullies and sandy patches.  Lots of small 'glass' fish (not sure what they were!)  Spiny starfish and sea urchins down in the kelp along with some well hidden crabs.  Then 2 cuttlefish, so well camouflaged that they just looked like gravel (Andrew almost knelt on the first one - can you spot it in the picture!) and then changing colour as they swam away.  Lovely to watch.

Spot the cuttlefish (clue - top of photo) More visible cuttlefish (see video - not up to normal standard but wasn't video camera!) Spiny star fish
