Comments :
Met after 2pm after graft on the fri. We geared up and walked the killer walk across the walk way to the island. We kitted up at the Water edge, to our dismay thompas mask floated away when he wsnt watching ... we walked across the walkway again and drove across to Deepblue dive for a new mask. he bought a hologram mask which i wasnt best pleased at. It did look cool. we eventually got in to the water and vis was around 5m at around 6-7m we chased a few lobbies in to crevises, we caught a decent size lobby that was more interested it the crack. We ended upp surfacing at the south side of the island fought thru the sea weed we surfaced and spoke to lady who's dog was going crazy at us. she asked what we had see. and she saw the lobbies and said enjoy yr dinner.
