Dive No. 25: Princess Bay, Wellington, New Zealand

I recommend this dive.

We saw a big conger eel (about 2m long) and an octopus. The conger did not seem bothered by us swimming directly above it, it almost seemed to swim along with us. The octopus however was very shy and would not let us get nearer than about two meters. So we just observed one another for a minute, before we swam on. We swam out quite far and had to fight the current to get back.
