Details
Conditions at Camp Cove looked way better tonight than they did 2 weeks ago. It was a lot calmer and the water looked clearer. We walked into the water at the beach and headed along the eastern shoreline. I followed the shoreline all the way past the pile of bricks and to the sand area behind the large rocks.
I turned and came back along the sand. I spent the rest of the dive on the sand and even went to the reef in the middle of the bay. I exited at the beach.
