A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 250 minutes. Maximum depth 5.8 m, 19 C water temperature up to 10 m viz.
Mid week diving here I go! The water condition is still quite good and very little current. Some good ones were recorded today including Cerberilla incola, Costasiella kuroshimae, Goniobranchus decorus, Knoutsodonta maugeansis and a very small Myja hyotan. Slowly the Fish Cage is being swallowed up by a metre of sand.
