SeaSearch dive with John & Malcolm - great vis, really nice dive site - rocky ridges & clefts with sandy bottom, lots of life on rocks - dead mens & red fingers, common starfish (& very small babies), bloody henry, large dogfish (& small), goldsinny, fried egg anemone, yellow cluster anemone, baked bean & light bulb sea squirts, urchins, boring sponge... Forgot ankle weights, so a bit under weight. Deployed SMB ok, but lost control on ascent (18m in 1 min) - need more practice! Dry suit squeeze too - maybe not enough weight. Also pink sea fans, potato crisp bryozoan, slender sea pens, crater sponge, elephants hide sponge, axinella dissimilis, devonshire cup coral, jewel anemone - a lovely dive & site!
