Details

Dive with Sail Rock Divers. This was a disappointing dive. We were the first group from the boat to get into the water but one of the divers lost his mask (despited being warned how easy it was to lose his mask) and so we had to wait for all the other divers to get into the water before he could get another mask. The same diver was down to 50 bar after only 20 minutes of the dive so we all had to end our dive early. We had only just made it part way around the East Pinnacle when we had to abort the dive.
