Very difficult exit if there is wave action and surge. The dive makes it worthwhile though.
This was an incredible dive. Descended at site mooring and swam along the reef toward the boat and North mooring. Very soon the boat became visible and was incredible to see (the first thing that came to mind - uboat) Swam around the stern and then just swam slowly to the bow taking photos along the way. Went round the bow and then half way back swam over the boat to the other side continuing to stern. Swam round the propeller and returned to shore on bearing.
