Julie, Terry and David on this single shore entry night dive of 114 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0 m, 20 C water temperature and 3 m viz.
A couple of new finds for the river habitat were sighted. One of these, Sclerodoris sp. 9 is also a new addition to our Sunshine Coast list. The Dendrodoris denisoni is obviously well fed measuring 130 mm. Even though we were diving later than our previous nighttime immersions there were still no pleurobranchs or bubble shells to be seen.
