A single shore entry dive by Gary and Gail of 151 minutes. Maximum depth 6.2m, 24 C water temperature and 10 m viz or less.
An overcast and light showers kind of day greeted us upon arrival. The previous weekend's dive was very challenging with very low viz if that. Today was a pleasent surprise with very clean water! The highlight was finding our newest species Phyllodesmium undulatum, and 2 animals to boot on the gorgonian food source. Other rare finds were finding Okenia liklik and Trapania miltabrancha. It was a great outing.
