Details

Entered at "the pool" and went straight down the wall. We were blown away by how great the visibility was at the bottom of the wall. It was at least 8 metres in all directions.

We headed around a number of the bommies and then back to the wall, turning after around 40 minutes. We came back along the wall at around 10 metres.

While I was doing my safety stop on top of the wall, Peter Lightowler pointed out a large Tambja verconis nudibranch which vastly extended my safety stop. We exited at "the pool".
