diving at Poor Knights Islands

Today I went scuba diving at Poor Knights Islands. As I keep reading, it's one of the top 10 dive sites in the world according to Jacques Cousteau. Something to do with a warm current that sweeps down from Australia, bringing with it species of tropical fish that normally wouldn't be in the area. Sorry, no pictures since I took the waterproof disposable camera and haven't finished the roll.

I had a good time. During the surface interval, in addition to lunch we toured around the islands a bit and went into the world's largest sea cave, Riko Riko, which is 7,800,000 cubic feet. Apparently, the acoustics are so good that Neil Finn, from Crowded House, once played a concert inside.
