Bare Island Deep Wall 15-03-08

Saturday morning 15 March and Bare Island is full of scuba divers. We plan to do the same dive as we did on Wednesday night. We walked to the end of the island entering at the same place. A bit further round is a large group of divers. they enter further round to the SE. We drop down and head south across the kelp and rocks and down the wall. it's here that the large group of divers come at us, not from the East but from the West. They must have headed West shallower than us, then dropped over the wall and came back at us from the East. Makes no sense to me. We will end up seeing the same group as we head along the North side of the reef back to the island. We follow the wall, and drop across to the anchor which Jen now recognises. Another 20-30m and there is the SS Minnow. We swim in and out and around it for a few minutes and I take a pic of the hull id plate. Then it's across the sand and up to the reef. Around the cave where there is a nice small cuttle. As we head back East along the reef, some of the large group pass us. One, I think the leader is grabbing Jen's fin, freaking her out. The same guy cuts straight across in front of me. No idea who he was but not good etiquette. The blue gropers were out, friendly like puppy dogs. Jen's 10th dive and she is in double figures.
