12 species sighted at Toilet Block, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, Qld, 30-04-2019.

A single shore entry afternoon-night dive by Gary, Sandra and Mario of 110 minutes. Maximum depth 6.7 m, 23 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.

Night is almost upon the intrepd divers. The water looked pretty clear as we put our fins on. After about 20 minutes my camera decided to lock up. Spent the rest of the dive just counting looking forward to getting home to look at the camera. I took the battery out and put it back in only to find the camera was working fine...whew!
