Details |
Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.
Entered at The Steps and went straight down to the sand line. Followed the sand line - or close to it - all the way to The Monument. Looked very carefully for seahorses all the way and only found 3 together basically at The Monument. Exited just around the corner over the rocks before the beach. |
