Julie, Terry & David on this single dive of 128 minutes in water depths to 6.3m. 4m viz 26C water temp and some surge.
The first 100m offshore carried a heavy load of disassociated Asparagopsis weed suspended in the water. Once into clear water the search was not helped by the huge amount of attached weed swaying back and forth in the surge and covering most of the substrate.
