A single shore entry dive by Gary, Gail and Gail of 151 minutes. Maximum depth 6.3 m, 25 C water temperature and up to 8 m viz.
This time a very early start and tide hoping to see something new. After some sand searching I was rewarded with our 801st species, Niparaya sp. 9 at 3.5 mm. On top of that the water was pretty clean. Another fluffy Noumeaella sp. 1 was located as well.
