Details

Entered from the rock shelf and swam along the reef line and then down "the ramp" to the north west corner. Had plans to go the west reef but we took it so slowly only really got just past the corner before it was time to come back. Visibility was not great and didn't see a lot but it was still nice to get "wet". Exited at the "boat ramp".
