Details

On the way back Ray asked us what we wanted to do for a second dive. I said "turtles", someone else said "wreck" and we combined both with a prawn trawler scuttled as part of an artificial reef (along wit hcar tyres in frames). Found one turtle inside the wreck - another one was waiting for us back at the line. Notable others in amongst the butterflyfish, tang and pennant fish were trumpet fish in various colours.

Equipment

3mm one-piece wetsuit, ~12lbs lead, hired tank, reg and BC. Own mask and fins, snorkel, torch, boots and computer.
