Diver's Notes

Great dive around a very small island. Not much more than a big rock really. Dive ended at the wreck of a cargo boat that sits on a slope. The top of the wreck is just three or four metres under the surface.

While we were holding at our safety stop I managed to get a picture of a Flying Gurnard with its fins extended.
