We soon regretted this as Gordon Rocks, the dive site of choice for the day, was EXTREMELY demanding.
Not only was the swell large on the surface (1.5m) necessitating a rapid descent, but also the tide whips between the rocks (a submerged crater) and speeds of up to 4 knots.
But we acquired a new friend, Dom. However, i totally failed in my role as dive buddy as on both occasions i lost contact with him!
But what we saw was fantastic. Turtle's, lots of schools of wray's, a couple of Hammerhead sharks, lots of white tips etc all over the course of two dives.
But all good things must come to an end, and by the end of the day we were all finished!
