Dive 55, Penwin Reef, Porthkerris, England, 03/06/2006

In 15:31, dive time 33 minutes, max depth 21.2 metres.

Down shot line from rib - strong current, so a strong swim from entry to get to shot! Line at 20°! At 20m sheltered by wall & reef from current. Swim among dead mens fingers (some open & feeding) to find walls of rock covered in multicoloured swathes of jewel anemonies, blue, green, orange, yellow - like a painters palette - very beautiful! Also lots of wrasse (corkwing, cuckoo), giant spiny starfish (50cm), pink sea fans, devon cup corals, big sea orange sponges, urchins, star sea squirts. Chas inflates my SMB, then his secondary reg free flows! Bit of panic - should have shared air. Instead he uses his pony & ascends quickly - drifting away quite a bit. I go slower but still quick on the SMB line. He's ok, by 0 air in main tank.
