Giant cuttlefish (3rd June '07)

I'm slowly getting the hang of the diving down thing!

Obviously I couldn't stay out of the water for too long and I was back in the sea at Gordon's Bay on Sunday morning. We had been planning to head round to Shark Point next to Clovelly beach to try and find some sharks but the waves were a bit too high for that so we settled for the calmer waters in Gordon's Bay.

Once more the place didn't disappoint and I found my first Giant Cuttlefish. It wasn't a monster one at just over a foot long but it certainly showed off its colours and shape-shifting as it hunted for small fish among the rocks and weed. It would hide under a rock and then rush out trying to grab passing fish with its tentacles. Quite spectacular!

Although the girls lost their football again later in the afternoon, the netball team actually managed to draw a game in the evening so we're moving in the right direction. Things are starting to turn around!
