So the dive plan was to drop deep and zig zag along a wall, waiting to see the hammerheads. We did a negative entry and tried to fin fast to 15 meters to get close to the wall.

This is the dive site I mentioned you want extra weights to get down on a negative entry.
 
This is the last known operator serving Magnet and surrounding dives. Not sure from website if still working. Check there Youtube channel as well

Jay and his wife are still operating. I dove with them for 5 days at these sites. I plan on going back again next year. Yeah challenging diving but all good fun. Down currents can be crazy my buddy and I got caught in one went down to 43m but we calmly got control and back to join up with Jay.

He thought we had seen something interesting and were receeding from view lol.
