Diver's Notes

Our original dive plan was to dive salt pier but the boat was docked and as a result we were not allowed to dive.
Reverted to plan b, and dived here.
A dive boat was anchored at the dive buoy, descended headed north and cam across th4 dive group heading back to the boat. I struggled with mask squeeze stupidly let water in instead of blowing air through my nose, then I struggled to get the water out.
It was a tricky entry and exit over rocks with the wave action.
