Details |
Entered the water on the southern side of the island and went straight down to the south reef. We then moved slowly west along here towards the deep wall looking for pygmy pipehorses. We weren't really sure where to look but looked anyway. As we approached the deep wall we came across a red indianfish.
At around 100 bar we headed up the wall and swam around the island back to the exit point near the bridge. |
