Decided to do a snorkel here with my 10yo son also chance to test my new Sea-Life digital camera. Water was a little murky. The guys at work were having a discussion about NSW dive sites and mention Broulee was lacking in life. I was surprised by this as everytime I visited here it had plenty of sea life. Many schools of fish, eels and the occasional sharks. Today many people were around and I noticed less fish than normal but still plenty of life.

Almost as soon as I put my head underwater these bream were swimming along. Followed them for a bit and then waited for my son to catch up.

Stuck the camera under a ledge and took a blind picture and caught these Mowongs (I think) resting. The flash must made their day.

A nice small school of fish waiting to be photographed.

A school of fish swimming across the rocks to get away from the crazy guy with the camera.
It was about here I saw a lovely little Cow fish but it was too fast for me and my camera.

My son (Yuri) was too slow to move out the way of the camera. He loves snorkeling here and loves seeing puffer fish.

Typical sort of rock structure found in this dive location. The Cave has a similar opening and is always hard to find.

Yet another large school of fish.
I love this dive it is an easy relaxing dive and can also be experienced by the non scuba world. After the dive you can have a surf at the beach or walk to the shops for an ice cream.
