Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at The Leap and descended to the sand line. This time we went a long way south and got to swim north a fair way along the wall. After the wall we headed along the sand line with the boulders until we reached Seahorse Rock. There were two seahorses there. After Seahorse Rock we started to ascend and make our way to The Steps. We surfaced 75m from The Steps and swam along the surface to the exit point.
