A single shore entry dive by Gary and Elisha of 135 minutes. Maximum depth 6.4 m, 22C water temperature and 2-4 m viz.
The day could not have been better, sunny and warm. Today I wore my drysuit for the first time this season and it worked a treat. From shore the water looked very clean. There were lots of Nudibranchs to be found. Three undescribed Goniodoridella species and very large Pteraeolidia.
