SkyWest Terminal. 7.00am - depart for Barrow I. Arrived just before lunch - after lunch in mess went out in chartered vessel Biggada (Alec Norris skipper) to mooring area for tankers. Marked by pencil buoys - some of these were raised - had short swim around them while divers were releasing chains from buoys to be removed & attaching them to "new" buoys. Buoys brought in to landing & I was left to collect from them. Much growth - oysters barnacles - sponges ascidians - pteriids etc. To my dissappointment no noticeable difference between Dendostrea folium specimens at different depths below water level.
