A single shore entry dive by Gary and Gail of 129 minutes. Maximum depth 5.9 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
Another opportunity to get a dive in before the rains come (if they come!). The bottom is thick with silt and the tidal movement was quite slow. As far as slugs it was slim pickins for sure. Again Goniodoridella sp. 1 was most common but numbers were down.
