With
visibility of at least 20+ metres (65 feet) at “High 8”, we were
able to dive together as a group of four with Tim as guide.
We adopted a profile which we were to follow on all of these wall
dives. We descended slowly
to about 25 metres (80 feet), drifting along the wall with minimal
effort, slowly ascending for a bottom time of 50 minutes to an hour.
We wore polypropylene suits, as the water was a constant 27C (81
deg F). You feel like you
are floating in space as you drift along looking at the various soft
corals, with reef fish near the coral and pelagics out in the blue.
When we finally surfaced, Princess II was right there waiting for
us. Pete swung her around
in her own length and we climbed aboard.
As we stripped off our gear and had a shower, we were under way
to the next dive site. |
