Birkdale Intermediate School

December 1st - another great day at Goat Island, this time with students from Birkdale Intermediate School, Auckland. A nice early start with calm conditions and green water. Plenty of snapper, red moki, blue maomao, spotties, leatherjackets etc to see. After the snorkel Discover Goat Island guides Tony and Jenny Enderby visited Echinoderm Reef and found sea hares, nudibranchs both orange and black, octopus, trumpet shells, kina, seastars and much more. The students then had a trip on the glass bottom boat.
