Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered the water on the souther side of the island and went straight down to the deep wall (sometimes called South Wall or West Wall by different people). Once there we headed north-east following the wall along until we hit 100 bar and then came back around the western side of the island, exiting on the northern side of the island.
