Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at the "ramp" near The Leap and after Dave lost one of his weights, we eventually headed to the sand line. We swam along the sand line until Seahorse Rock where there were 3 seahorses (maybe a 4th after looking at my photos). The others left me at Seahorse Rock and I continued along the sand line in search of another rock that is reported to have more seahorses. I'm not sure if I found the other rock, but I did find another seahorse. At about 70 bar I headed into shallower water for a very long safety stop at 5 metres. I exited at The Steps.
