Paddle boarders, didn't know that during this dive a paddle would be found
Looking up through a hole in the bottom of the boat, the surface is about 14m away, boy it's clear!

My 'northern most' lobbie, she was a good size and provided food for all of us along with rice and a delightful lemon and butter sauce.

The barrel of one of the secondary guns
