Diver's Notes

Nice dive through this gulley just north of Prawle point. Lovely viz which was made better by plenty of fish swimming round. First time out for the gopro and hoping the results turn out well.

Found two lesser spotted dog fish and a conger eel. Few brilliantly coloured Blue cuckoo wrasse. Was nice just gently drifting with the current and taking in the view, which was lovely with the great viz, sponges, dead mens fingers and lots of fish.

Spotted a sunfish on the surface which was a rare treat for this time of the year over this far east..... a good omen some might say.
