Calm sea, good vis - drop down below surface current & follow outside hull (like a cliff) NE among lots of life: dead mens fingers, sagatia elegans (sea anemone: white & orange forms), pink sea fans (some newly growing), starfish, ascidia mentula (sea squirt), a coryphella brown sea slug, also a gravel sea cucumner, spider crab, bib, goldsinny, devonshire cup coral... lots of lovely life. Some good photos - still a bit of camera shake & poor framing. Dry suit ascent good, except strong current pulled Tony with SMB to surface during safety stop, so joined him anyway. Very enjoyable dive.
