A single shore entry dive by Gary, Lexie and Brunno of 141 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 20 C water temperature and up to 2 m viz.
With the weather looking good before it gets bad off to the river for another search. The water temp is still 20C no sign of a winter temp coming. Goniodoridella sp. 1 continues to dominate the substrate with Pteraeolidia semperi close behind. Finding another Eubranchus sp. 14, Hypselodoris zephyra and Costasiella sp. 1 were a treat. The highlight for me was another Bornella anguilla find and Hypselodoris obscura and Hypselodoris zephyra on the same food source.
