This was more of a drift dive, though the current was not very predictable. Sometimes full speed, sometimes still. There were lots of small flatfish and crabs. Here and there a little lobster. There were also two small white-and-yellow sea slugs. And we saw a dark butterfish. At the end, on the surface, we had a visit from a seal that came within a few metres.
