Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at The Steps and realised I'd forgotten my weight belt. I sent the others on their way and went back to the car to get the weight belt.

Entered at The Steps (again) and swam straight out to deeper water to test my old (D70) housing. It checked out OK so I swam south-east (towards The Leap), returned and exited at The Steps. Water conditions were pretty good and the visibility was not too bad.
