A double boat entry dive by Gary and David of two 50 minute dives. Maximum depth 15.5 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 20 m viz.
Today David and I decided to make a trip to Moreton Island in particular Flinders Reef with Sunreef. The boat ride was an action packed blaster ripping thru the water at sometimes 70 km per hour! We decided to spend our 50 minutes x2 at a small bommie near the mooring block. A new species Elysia sp. 27 was a pleasant surprise. Yellow egg masses gave the 2 animals away after turning an old staghead coral over. The ride back was a chapter out of a ride at Disneyland!
