Details

A nice dive, although the spring tides made simple things like swimming to the shot hard work. We did see a couple of spotted dogfish snoozing on the bottom, and some very nice wrasse. The temperatures are down and an hour is about all that's comfortable in a 7 ml suit. We headed out to the Landing craft but had to turn back due to higher than normal air consumption. The ascent was interesting with a couple of boats attached to the buoy the chain was being whipped around , so stayed clear and tried to use it as a visual reference but got swept away and had to deploy a bag.
