Dive 65, Stoke Point Reef, Devon, England, 20/08/2006

In 10:49, dive time 24 minutes, max depth 27.5 metres.

With SeaSearch group inc. Sally & Chris, buddied with Richard & Graham (Bees?) in Sound Diving's boat Lady Helen, rather slow! Also with not easy entry & wobbly ladder for exit! Lumpy rough sea, down shot with poor vis. at surface but on bottom we see beautiful garden-like reef with lovely pink sea fans, dead mens fingers, ross coral, various sponges, sea squirts, devon cup corals, urchins... and curious cuckoo wrasse, bloody henry's, goldsinny, leopard spot goby - didn't want to leave. But no-stop time (& air) ran low, so a lomger stop at 5m to decompress, then tough balancing act exiting up ladder onto boat - sea rather rough! A great dive!!
