Details

Club dive with St George Underwater Centre.

Entered at The Leap and headed straight down to the sand line. Followed the sand line to The Steps. Stopped at Seahorse Rock to see the three seahorses. Bobby found a 4th which appears to be the same one I found last time. I also saw a turtle and Peter saw a 1-1.5m grey nurse shark. Exited at The Steps.
