A single shore entry dive by Gary and Sheryl of 154 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 19 C water temperature and up to 12 m viz.

Winter diving is always great and clear today was another let's go diving day! Another new species that looks like Hallaxa. A hand-sized Sebadoris fragilis was found under a rock. Nice to see the colourful Pleurobranchus peronii also from under rocks. Phyllodesmium poindimiei was popular and bold found from under a rock as well. Some Pteraeolidia semperi were as long as my hand. This site is very popular with the species Pteraeolidia semperi and Goniodoidella sp. 1.
