The large groups of Blue Spotted Stingrays were still around. Digging themselves into the sand and piling on top of each other.

A Black Cod, which is a protected species due to its serious decline in numbers over the last few years, was hanging out in the Cod Hole.

Another Grey Nurse Shark was seen this week and only the occasional Leopard Shark passed through.
