Lattitude rock, on the outter reef. It's been a while since I've been on this site, but it's always nice.
Started off with a numb ray swinging past and then a wobby and a few morays. Lots of yellowtail and unfortunately massess of red weed. So much that when we got up to the hole at the NE and of the wall we lost sight of the group and then lost sight of the group.
Ended up doing a free ascent, but then had to swim back to the boat, which was a bit of a haul as a current had picked up a bit and we were a fair way off.
