437	18 Dec 1990	The Pinnacles, Forster		Forster	Australia			40	27	27	Iain Hosking, Cathy Humphries		Very unfortunate dive. No echo sounder on Rory's boat so we depended on transits - except it was too hazy. Very hot day - sunburnt. Water clear at the surface but absolutely pea-soup at depth. Didn't stray more than 20ft from the anchor yet lost it. Spent the whole dive playing with Cathy's BC, then were faced with a long snorkel back to the boat. Sea rough. Big swell.	Wetsuit, BC, 20lbs lead (began the dive with 28lbs - big mistake).
