13/05/2011 Pendennis, Falmouth

Weather: Sunny with cloudy skies
Temp: 12oc
Vis:4/5 metres

MNHP L1 students went for a dive down at Pendennis. I was a little apprehensive as most people are at a beginning of a dive. Dreading to get into that cold, wet, ripped worn wetsuit, trying to get the booties on, lugging the BCD and tank on my back and weight belt on my hips, underwater camera and housing in one hand, fins, mask and snorkle in the other, down the steap rocky steps of doom is where you will find me at my most unattractive state!
But once I was in the water, had finally got my fins, snorkle, mask and dive gloves on I was finally engulfed into the underwater world and was loving it once again.
The water was cold and crisp, very clear. I saw alot of fauna as soon as I was submersed.
Sightings of pipe fish, spider crabs, common juvenile star fish,  spiney star fish and snakes lot.
