Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at the 'bay' at the north-west corner of the island and headed west to deeper water. Headed south and then east towards the wall. Followed the start of the wall for a bit and then came up the wall and headed north back around the corner to near the bridge. Exited to the west of the "ramp".

Unfortunately, I flooded the battery on one of my strobes and only had one working strobe for the dive. The strobe itself appears to be fine but the battery is ruined.
