Details

We got in at the pool, swam out and descended the wall. We first headed north for a while and then turned and followed the wall south, then west.

We swam past the pineapplefish and along the wall a bit further before turning and swimming back at around 8 metres. We continued past the exit point and headed north again along the top of the wall.

We came back along the top of the wall and exited at the pool.
