Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered on northern side, west of bridge, and headed east (eventually after stuffing up the compas bearing) then south around the island. Visibility improved on the other side of the bridge. It was bitterly cold for the whole dive. We ended up exiting on the eastern side of the bridge on the La Perouse side of the channel.
