Details |
Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.
Entered at the beach and headed NNW along the wall, staying fairly shallow. We found plenty to photograph along the way. There was a huge number of octopus as well as cuttlefish, frogfish and many other interesting organisms. A brilliant dive. |
