A single shore dive by Gary, Gail and Adele on this excursion consisting of 1 x 181 minute dive in water depth up to 6.6 m, up to 3 m viz, 27 C water temp.
You never know what you'll find when diving the Mooloolah River. Finding a 70 mm Ceratosoma tenue was extraordinary. Then to top that off another Notobryon wardi 60 mm was found in a hydroid bunch. As allways looking for the Mexichromis animals is fun and today we found one.
