The 2nd dive was the SS Oakland in 27mtrs, very pretty wreck, allot smaller than the Macleay and very easily explored in the 20+ minute bottom time we are allowed (ooops, 3 mins deco)... Lots of life, Wobbie, Eel, Blind Shark, Groper, Yellowtail, Pomfrets etc... Great vis, awesome conditions for this dive. It topped off a great day of wreck diving.
Feet First ran the boat for Abyss and everyone had a great day.
