Italian Gardens

Capt. Tony took us to a different part of Italian Gardens on the last dive. A number of giant sea bass had been seen her a few days earlier. I didn't see a one on this dive, but I already had enough footage to create my new giant sea bass DVD which was released at the end of last month. I did run into a number of morays in the boulder reef at this site, including several which had large retinues of red rock cleaner shrimp in the holes with them.

The only other sighting of real interest was the two species of brittlestars I observed when I carefully turned over some of the rocks (and replaced them in position after filming).
