Details

This was only a quick dive because Tim was staying with the car. The visibility was not great and as the sun was low, it was difficult to see. This would have probably been a nice dive if we had been there around noon and headed right out to the end.

The pylons of the jetty were absolutely covered with cunjevoi and sponges of all different colours. It was really quite beautiful.
