Another dive with Zachary down the Island Bay Snorkel Trail. Visibility on the trail tends to recover faster than other south coast sites when the swells dies down as it's a bit more sheltered. We were even getting 4-6m of visibility in places.

The usaual wildlife was there.

There's also a fair amount of trash on the snorkel trail. We picked up and carried what we could. Zachary was keen to bring a bag along for next time.

Towards the end of the dive I noticed something very red in the sand and silt. It was an intact Kong frisbee that must have gotten away from its owner and retriever. It was carried out too.
