It headed offshore and dived among seaweed a couple of times, rocketing to the surface (as if playing). Third time lucky, it came up with a leatherjacket (of the fish variety!) about 3 quarters the body length of the rakali.

The winner of the dinner headed straight for shore and into a drain pipe before I could get in position for a better photo.
