Gary and Magnus on this excursion consisting of 1 x 68 minute and 1 x 57 minute dives in water depths from 16 m to 17 m. 20 m viz, 21 C water temp and a little surge.
Again great conditions, and a great boat ride out and back in Magnus's boat, thank you. The water was very clean, you could see the bottom from the boat and visa versa. We anchored just north of the site we normally go to but the three small walls made searching fun.
