Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered the water at the north western corner of the island. We initially headed west to get some depth and then followed the wall around to the south towards the south wall. We lost Marc and the other guy fairly early, but Daniela, Dishi, George and I stayed together until we lost George when he stopped to take a photo. We realised we were separated when we got to the south wall. We back tracked but couldn't find him so surfaced. We waited on the surface for 5 minutes or so and then when he didn't show we went descended and came back along the wall to the "boat ramp". George was waiting there when I got out.
