Drive to SW end of inlet, then down 100 steps to small beach. Surface swim half way to mouth, avoiding stinging jellyfish, then down & along east side @ ~12m to find cave entrance - it's a very large cave entrance, lots of boulders. Then shimmering light overhead inside -should have surfaced, but didn't realise as Sarah didn't. Lovely blue silhouettes as we exit. Swim along & above deep reef & wall - lots to see, including black & greek bath sponges, snakelocks anemonies, & on way back lots of steely gray hard rock-rose like corals? Harder to walk up 100 steps, but a very enjoyable dive. Lots of fossils in rocks where we picnic too. Also rock scorpion fish. Found Dexter's knife on way out.
