The Grotto & J4 Sub – Saturday 14th July 2012

Divers: Geoff, Michael, Leo, Marty & Mark

New drysuits, new BCDs and just wanting to go for a dive – we had one with the lot on Saturday. Divers just wanting to get up to speed with new equipment meant not doing anything too deep, but one thing about the Grotto you don’t need to get deep to get good. We spent a few minutes on the bottom sorting out equipment before we went for a bit of a tour, overhangs & swim throughs, ledges and plenty of fish. Leo & Michael disappeared down through a hole in the top of a ledge & came out 30 seconds later swimming through another opening. We could have spent hours here, unfortunately we had our plan to sort out the gear so we needed to start our ascent. The viz is starting to get quite good now & I expect the boats will start filling up with the nice weather on its way.
