Transit Reef Rottnest pics

Just got back yesterday from 3 days at Rotto trying out Jacqui's new toy on an extended overnighter. Spent Friday and Saturday diving the east and north parts of the island but unfortunatly couldn't make it around to the south side as planned. Thought I might post up some pics from our first dive in the sanctuary zone at transit reef. It was a great dive in 5m, awes vis, no surge, two wrecks, the Denton Holme and Macedon almost on top of each other and some kick arse caves to the north.

Later on when I get my hands on the miss' camera I'll post an sweet photo of a puffer fish I angried up for her.

Two shots of a Red Lipped Morwong we found under a ledge just below where we anchored

Cave under the boat

Only standing section of hull on the Denton Holme site

 

Hull of the Macedon

And the other usual suspects
