Diver's Notes

Shore entry, tricky with waves and surge.
Entered North side of pier next to guard hut. Snorkelled to first pylon, en route encountered turtles feeding (loads of snorkelers). At the first pylon Wilson took a bearing and we dec ended swimming west to the 1 of 5 pylons. Lovely slow recreational dive with an abundance of sea life, fish and corals. At the 5th pylon turned around and headed back. At the 1st pylon Katrina got a foot cramp, we hung around till she felt better. Loads of turtles ~10 feeding on the way back.
