Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at The Leap and headed south east down to the sand line. We ended up further south than I have been before and we didn't arrive at Seahorse Rock until over 25 minutes into the dive. On previous dives we've got then it around 15 minutes. This meant we probably wouldn't make it all the way to The Steps. Shortly after Seahorse Rock we started a gradual ascent, moving away from the sand line and up the wall. As suspected, we ended up surfacing 50-100 metres from The Steps as I didn't have enough air. Never-the-less, it was a great dive.
