Details

We jumped in on the south eastern side of the island and dropped over the Deep Wall. We followed the Deep Wall north west. At the end we tried to find the seahorses from last weekend but couldn't find them. We then followed the reef around the island to the north. We came around the north west corner up the slope and exited near the ramp.
