Julie, Terry, Gary and David on this excursion consisting of 1 x 109 minute and 1 x 99 minute dives in water depths from 9 m to 13 m. 8 m viz, 27 C water temp and a little surge.
A couple of nice long dives in pleasant conditions were enjoyed. The sea slug population did not disappoint with a few species sighted that we don't often encounter such as Crimora lutea, Diversidoris crocea, Baeolidia sp. 1, Miamira magnifica and Ardeadoris angustolutea.
Number of each species sighted: 1st dive/2nd dive
