Diver's Notes

Selected this dive site due to the great visibility conditions at Electric Beach. Visibility at this site was horrible.

Entry and exit were easy compared to the previous week.

Made our way out to the mooring buoy then descended and explored around the reef. Once we got to the statue we made a u-turn and returned to the shore.
