Trumpet Fish at High Tide

Local advice, snorkel Fly Point at high tide. So, quick breakfast and back to our dive site for a new underwater discovery.

We look like professionals already as we pushed past a novice tour group awaiting instructions and stepped into the deep blue sea.

Jen was “blown away” as she spotted a number of Trumpet Fish catching the morning sun breaking through the aqua and a baby ray passed us by.

Snorkelling is our new found past time as it’s so much fun and we look forward to finding new dive sites on our travels.

Nelson Bay Marina has a number of good cafes and restaurants so brunch was a latte and an iced chocolate at Blueys. There are also a number of fresh seafood shops so we bought sand whiting for dinner and a dozen oysters.

Keen to get the kayaks out, we went back to Soldiers point Marina and set off through the shallows to find ourselves almost stuck on an oyster bed... heaven!

Not quite, there is $275,000 fine if you are caught taking the oysters so we settled for on $14.95 dozen we bought at the seafood shop.

All good.Læs mere
