Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered the water on the mainland side, descended and headed west along the wall. There were eight of us in the group and the visability was such that we could at least stay in our buddy pairs but it was very difficult to keep all 4 pairs together. We had to surface a few times to regroup. While not an ideal dive, we still managed to see some interesting things.
