A single shore entry dive by Gary and Chris of 129 minutes. Maximum depth 5.9 m, 21C water temperature and up to 2 m viz.
This was an afternoon dive and after the wind and rain over the last couple of days we thought it might be ok, and it was. There were nudibranchs everywhere. It was hard to move a metre or so without seeing one. The river bottom is also being attacked by red weed. Fish Cage was full of it.
