Details

We entered at the baylet on the north western corner of the island and headed south west after descending until we hit the start of the wall. We followed the tiers along until the wall proper and descended to the bottom of the wall.

We followed the wall along for a while and then turned and came back along the wall. I tried to find the seahorses but couldn't be sure I was in the right spot.

We followed the reef along the western and northern sides of the island and exited near the ramp.
