Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at the beach, headed out through the gap and around to the right. There was a very strong surge and even around the corner at 12 metres it was still very surgy. Turned around after 12-15 minutes and headed back to the gap. Went from another dive in the shallows around the bay.
