A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 180 minutes. Maximum depth 6.7 m, 20 C water temperature and 10 m viz.
A little cloud coverage before some inclement weather comes. Water temp is still 20C and winter is almost done. The water clarity is still exceptional (wasted on me!) Many nice finds today! Sebadoris fragilis the size of my hand was a treat from under a rock along side a vivid red Pleurobranchus peronii. Two species of Costasiella were also found. And a beautiful Phyllodesmium poindimiei was found from under a rock. All in all a great outing! Trying figure out what the little yellow "worm" is...
