Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at the boat ramp as usual and headed down the wall. Went out to the bommie where the seahorses and orange nudibranchs were previously but I could not find them. I headed back to the wall and caught up with George. We found a painted stinkfish which we photographed for a while and then headed back to the exit.
