I navigated to the Um El Faroud.
Decided to decend at the start to avoid Jellies, and swim to a "smooth rock" that I had written on the slate...
Turns out this is above the water, so I winged it and just started swimming out when I thought it was right.
Managed (somehow) to find the giant wreck. Went to the deeper half first, but we only managed to do this half due to air.
The Wreck was super cool.
Turned back due to air and accended to ~10m. Then my compas got stuck, so I navigated us in circles. Once I realised we had been swimming in circles for 5 minutes, I fixed the compas and navigated back. Turns out I didn't surface where I thought I was (It was a different rock) so we ended up with a ~5 min surface swim past 1000000000 Jellies.
Not a good navigation.
