The conditions for snorkeling finally improved over the Easter long weekend and that allowed Allan and me to head back down to Gordon's Bay to see what was about. Visibility was pretty good and there were plenty of fish around to keep us happy.

The stand-out attraction was a huge Wobbegong shark which was at least 2m long. It was hiding under a large boulder until Allan pestered it too much and it emerged into open water. As I've said before, fish that are bigger than I am make me a bit nervous especially when they're as active as this chap was. As a result, the pictures aren't too great as we gave it the respect it deserved and stayed out of range of any tendencies it may have had to have a snap at one of us!
