Dive report 01/03 – A blue for the pan

Whoop whoop. First dive since December. Tough conditions with the wind chopping things up good and proper but it was clean and warm so happy days. Took this fella (Blue fish) at about 8-10m on a bit of reef in the middle of the bay at KB. Not huge but got two great fillets off him 🙂 Saw a beauty of about 4kg+ on the same spot but with the wind it was really difficult to stay on the reef and I lost the mark before I saw it again…

Great dive though, saw a just under size black steenbras. Just cruising around in front of me not phased at all. Loads of small black tail and shoals and shoals of juvenile fish, just shoalling around you when you hit the bricks. Stunning. Earlier about 20-30 stone bream where shoalling around me. They not great eating though so left them, but was awesome to be surrounded by a shoal of fish like that. Always surprised how much I miss diving once I’ve gotten in for the first time after an extended break.

And what a great way to end a lovely weekend. Bring on some more west wind!
