Tradesman's general observations: Secci station depth: 2.9m Lots of particulate in the water, viz quite brown and poor. Lots of silt covering normally clean washed passages. Ladder had fallen down from first airbell so replaced it. New line in the pot looks very good and clean and rope protector doing a good job. Some snoopies have broken so a good job for a trainee to repair some. Silt screws on the sand banks before 4ways still totally solid. Lost go-pro in entrance so unable to shoot video or images (found post-dive but too late for a second dive.)
