Did a night dive at Blackwall Reach last night. Heaps of small/medium prawns about. We caught a few big ones though. Like you said to, heaps of bigggg female crabs, though nearly all the ones i saw had eggs. Saw a couple of big blues but only got one the rest were to quick for me :P

Nice little midnight snack for me when i got home anyway.
