Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered the water just west of the "boat ramp" and headed west. Got separated from the group (I was the 7th wheel), and headed out to the west reef on my own. Visiblity improved significantly and I had a great dive. I turned at 100 bar and came back almost directly east, seeing a blue devil on the way back.
