Went in from the little beach to the north, near the MOD building. 10kg on wetsuit. Snorkelled round the rock. Vis was very good. Busy Sunday with lots of divers but nice atmos and didn't feel overcrowded.
In the water I saw lots of small >3-4cm, transparent bell-shaped jellyfish, they had a frill of 8-12 thin tentacles around the base and a pink convoluted organ within. Also some 'sea-gooseberries' transparent also, rounded with two thin tentacles either side. Fish included Bass, ballan and corkwing wrasse, and shannies. There were common starfish, spiny starfish, sea urchins, and spiny spider crab hiding beneath the kelp (a lot of kelp 3-7m). Pottered around the rocks nice and easy, did a few dives, and took a few pictures.
Good facilities here: kit/spares shop, showers, kit wash, hot food/drinks + tent. And very reasonable parking and fees to shore dive. It was great and I was looking forward to coming back to dive on Tuesday.
