Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

This was another trial dive with a dry suit. The suit didn't leak as much this time but I was still damp and very cold.

Entered at the boat ramp as normal but as the water was quite clear we headed out to the bommies much earlier and spent most of the dive out there.
