Diver's Notes

Lovely evening dive in the bay. Quite a bit of silt stirred up. The tide was out so it wasn't as deep as usual.

Spanish gallion moored in the bay and the rays of the evening sun shon beautifully down on the ship. Wish i had brought my camera with me.

Tiny little gellyfish with little coloured lights flashing when they moved, fantastic.

Must go on a night dive soon.
