Evidence of springtime on Scubadive West’s reef abounds! While still some distance from ‘balmy’, the water temperature has increased a degree to 8oC. The cove has benefited from an early plankton bloom, ensuring food for the returning marine life. Tan comparisons and tales of winters spent in warmer climates monopolise conversations amongst the fish! Below are some pictures taken on a shore dive on Saturday.
