Terry, David and Gary on this excursion consisting of 1 x 82 minute and 1 x 77 minute dives in water depths up to 18.8 m, 25 m viz, 20 C water temp and hardly any surge.
Another new site brought happiness to the team as we searched a subtrate with waves of walls. The visibility was great and finding Discodoris lilacina, Diversidoris aurantionodulosa, a large Glossodoris cincta and Phyllidia babai were highlights of the dives.
