Comments BSD is the best driving. Bruce and Fung do a wonderful job of welcoming guests and keeping us happy. Saw the rhinopias this trip - missed them last time.
Muck diving is easy and fun. So much to: different kinds of ghost pipefish, several different kinds of sea horses, wonderpus, mimic octopuses, coconut octopus, starry octopus, lots of frogfish many types and many sizes, sea snakes, lots and lots of nudis, and so much more...
