Dave and myself performed our buddy check (A,B,C)at the shore line before entering the water to chest height where we did a buoyancy check as I was diving with a Dry-Suit for the first time. I required an extra weight. We agreed upon our dive plan as suggested by Dave before commencing the dive. We snorkled our of the harbour before descending to the sea bed where we then began to follow a rock shelf. The viz was poor - mediumas there had been a swell the previous day and the weed had been stirred up. However the sea life was abundant and I enjoyed just being back in the water ! During the course of the dive I saw a Pucker fish, flat fish with orange specks, shoals of cuddies, a baby cod possiably, small crabs and starfish. Also re-discoverd the rudder, prop shaft and engine of the linkmoore. At one point a boat passed overhead. Nothing new but it's been a long time since my last dive. Too long ! And this was all good fun :)
