Diver's Notes

First ever Sydney dive.

Easy shore dive. Lots of divers getting into water. Very few seen once down. Joined by Ana, Dušan, Natalia and Adam.

Saw a Wobbegong shark, a scorpion fish, several gost fish frantically digging sand. Kelp. Squids, a big groper. Followed a 7 stop underwater trail.

Dušan put a weight into Ana's pocket thinking he was helping Nat
Ana thought it was I helping her!
