Details
Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.
Entered water at beach, swam to gap and then headed south on the southern side of the bay. Turned at 100 bar. We missed the entrance to the bay on the way back, turning left early into a dead end channel and had to come back out. I was nearly out of air by the time we got back to the gap and had to swim the rest on the surface.
