Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at the boat ramp as usual and headed down the wall. Spent a lot of time on the rubble looking for interesting things but found nothing of great interest. We did spot a little blenny in a whole up the wall. There were a lot of cuttlefish, too.
