Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered water on north-eastern corner of island and had planned to head south. I got separated from Lock and Graham as we were descending and after searching we could not locate each other. I completed the dive on my own. I headed south for a while then turned and headed north. I exited at the "boat ramp".
