A single shore dive by Gary, Kelly, Adele and Chad on this excursion consisting of 1 x 153 minute dive in water depth up to 6.5 m, up to 2 m viz, 27 C water temp.
Yesterday the river looked so blue so we decided to dive this morning. When the smoke cleased another new species was found and some unusual ones as well. The water temp was a warm 27C but the vis was low probably due to the swell. All in all a nice dive.
