Details |
Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.
Entered at the beach and headed NNW along the wall, staying fairly shallow. I found plenty to photograph along the way taking over 240 photos on the dive. There was a large number of seahorse as well as cuttlefish, octopus, frogfish and many other interesting organisms. A great dive. |
