Wow! The water has warmed up to 18 degrees and there is life everywhere at the Knights.

Stingrays are buzzing us on most dives and the walls are full of Nudis going about their springtime BUSINESS. We went out for 3 days and were greeted by a summertime flury of activity.

On the trip over we had to stop not once. but twice, to see the Sunfish lazing around. At the Knights Carpet Sharks were swimming around the Gardens, Morays are as fat as I've ever seen them there and the amount of Vercos and Clown Nudibranchs is just amazing.

The islands themsleves are still in bloom and maybe the Poor Knights Pudding story may just be believable!?

On Landing Bay Pinnacle the Boarfish were hanging out and the Mootled Morays at Crystal Cave and Crinoid Cliff were just sat out in the open.

Middle Arch was our last dive and there was stuff happening all over. A Spanish Lobster greeted us just below Bernie's Cave and the walls of the Arch were teeming with Nudis. Stingrays were coming in and out, over and under us. As we exited we entered a wall of jellyfish and feeding on them were Blue and Pink Maomao, Kingfish, Snapper and Demoiselles - a real frenzy!

May the summer be long and fishy!
