Details

Entered at the little "bay" the the west of the "boat ramp". Header past the fin and down the "ramp" to the NW corner of the island. Were looking for the red indiandish Peter had seen for the last 2 dives and found it. Headed out a bit further and turned at the corner of the wall. On returning I got separated from Pete and George and missed the seahorse and blue-lined octopus. I exited at the entry point.
