7am dive to Coopers Wreck which is rated at Durbans no 1 wreck dive.
Excellent vis of 20m+ but descending was a mission! The current we had been warned about was there - although apparently not too bad! We had to haul ourselves down the anchor line hand over hand but on the wreck it was less evident.
The large soft corals on the wreck were beautiful and there was plenty of sealife to enjoy. I want to go back to Coopers as I used my oxygen a bit quickly due to the exertion of fighting the current. 32 minute dive all up with max depth of 29m.
Then at 9.30 we went to Nevs Ledge, another deep dive. This was a very calm dive, no current, warm water, very relaxing. The DM Chantal and I ended up surfacing last as we had air left and were on nitrox. 42 min dive all up but not a whole lot of sea life. I did find some beautiful nudibranches which I am going to learn more about, they are amazing!
