Warm, sunny day but white horses and an onshore wind made entry interesting and exit alarming. Poor vis as it was well stirred up. Plenty of smaller fish such as mado, bullseyes, scalyfin, wrasse, blennies, leatherjacket, blue-tailed devilfish. Extensive sponge gardens in bright shades of purple, orange and yellow. Highlight was a small cuttlefish which effortlessly ran through a full set of colour changes. We were assisted on our exit by a couple of off-duty divers - thanks!	Fourth Element dry suit, steel tank, Arctic, 27 lbs. First dive with Shearwater Petrel 2 dive computer
