Details |
Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.
This was another trial dive with a dry suit. The suit leaked a very small amount via the sleeves but I stayed dry. I was cold at one point but that was because I wasn't wearing enough under the suit.
Entered at the boat ramp as normal. The water was only reasonably clear and we made our way up the reef slowly. I spent most of the dive photographing nudibranchs. |
