A double dive by David, Julie, Terry and Gary of 76 and 69 minutes. Maximum depth 20.1 m, 23 C water temperature and up to 15 m viz.
Another beautiful warm day and we all headed out to deep water. This time a site we haven't been to in a while and it didn't disappoint, some really nice species were recorded. With multiple stepped walls and lots of coral navigating the site wasn't a challenge.
