Diver's Notes

The return leg of the previous dive in Sandycove. Visibility still not the best but made for an interesting dive. It makes you focus on the little things that scurry about on the sea bed.
Seas were calm and warm with hardly any current. A lovely dive but we'll be aiming to get back out again in a few days time on higher tides.
