Easy dive in Ripper's cove. Very enjoyable. Descend to sand flats then west to fringing rock reef. Transited along rock/ sand interface at 8 meters for most of the dive. Great visibility, many, many fish. On return, transited between 4 to 8 meters along the top of the reef. Many lobsters. Pacific octopus. leisurely, rewarding, dive that is very approachable.
