Details

First dive of a double boat dive with Plunge Diving on the HCBS boat.

I messed up big time on this dive and missed the cave at the start of the dive heading south of it. It was only on our return to the boat (which I found without much trouble) that I realised the cave was only just east of the boat. And 2 grey nurse sharks had been spotted there.
