Notes

Descended too fast, perhaps due to poor visibility and possibly too much weight. Didn't notice at the time, but my left eye was completely red after the dive—the optician said nothing to worry about. I must have burst a small blood vessel in my pupil. The west side of the bar is slightly more shallow and fades to the sandy bottom. The east side is steeper with big blocks of rocks and crevices, though perhaps more life on the west. On a previous dive on top of the bar, there was a section with five big lobsters in just a few square meters, but we only saw one small one at the start of this dive. The sea changed completely during the dive as the wind picked up. It was quite choppy when we surfaced.
