Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at the channel directly in front of the flags and followed it out and then headed north. Pottered around on the sand for a while and found a mourning cuttlefish. While photographing it we lost Adam. We surfaced to wait for him but he went on with the dive without us. We waited on the surface for over 30 minutes on the surface and when we saw him get out of the water, we (George, Peter and I) went for another dive.
