Details |
We descended the anchor line to the sand. The anchor was off the reef and we swam west to the reef. We also went a bit shallower as Sheree had started with only half a tank of air. We then headed north swimming around the large boulders and looking in the caves. We turned and returned towards the anchor. I got separated and was on my own for the last 20 minutes or so. As the anchor was in 20 metres of water I did my safety stop close to shore - which was lucky as the anchor had dragged and Joe had moved the boat. |
