Download and print colouring pages featuring Captain Dave, Larry the Lobster and the Craig Bay sea caves!: https://bit.ly/S3EP02ColouringPages Captain Dave and Larry the Lobster steer the Mellow Submarine into a stretch of underwater caves just south of French Creek Harbour, along the rocky shoreline of Craig Bay. Captain Dave explains how thousands of years of wave action carved these tunnels out of soft, crumbling rock, and the pair explore the winding passages together, admiring barnacles, sea cucumbers and a shy octopus along the way. But when a flickering light catches Larry's eye, he slips through a side passage to take a closer look, and quickly discovers that one glowing cluster of plankton is not worth getting lost over. Alone in the dark and unable to find his way back, Larry has to remember Captain Dave's most important rule: stay calm, and wait to be found. Captain Dave, meanwhile, seeks out an unlikely guide, a ninety-three-year-old rockfish named Quillback who has called the Craig Bay caves home for longer than anyone can remember, and who knows every twist and turn by heart.
