David, Terry and Gary on this excursion consisting of 1 x 67 minute and 1 x 63 minute dives in water depths up to 20.2 m, up to 8 m viz, 23 C water temp.
Revisiting a site that is very target rich was a treat. A deeper dive site due to swell made things easier. A beauiful Miamira magnifica brightened up the dive. One we don't see very often was Verconia alboannulata and a rather large animal as well. Goniobranchus splendidus was out in force along with mating pairs.
