Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at the little "bay" the the west of the "boat ramp". Header past the fin and down the "ramp" to the NW corner of the island. We followed the reef to the west. At the turn around point I got disoriented (again) and was separated from Graeme and Corey. After looking for them I surfaced for 5 minutes but they didn't (until later). I decscended and headed east to the exit point where they were waiting.
