A single shore entry dive by Gary and Steve of 172 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0 m, 20 C water temperature and up to 8 m viz.
Steve's in town to dive the river - OK let's go! A fairly stiff northerly was blowing and the water still looks great. Let's hope it last a while morte. Goniodoridella sp. 1 is still most common at this site with Hypselodoris obscura second. A few mating pairs were seen as well. Goniobranchus albonares was a good find with it's bulbous white rhinophores. One species we rarely see is Gymnodoris nigricolor, all black and when photos are taken you can barely make out the animals details.
