16 species sighted at Toilet Block, Mooloolah River, La Balsa Park, Buddina, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 12-02-2022.
A single shore entry morning with Gary and David of 331 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0 m, 27 C water temperature, 0 to 2 m viz.
After the last dive I did I knew the viz was going to be a challenge. As the tide turned the viz improved to about 2 m.We did have plenty to see when you got up close. The surprise was recording over 200 Cratena pawarshindeorum. They were everywhere. Finding Thordisa tahala, Unidentia sp. 6 and Diversidoris aurantionodulosa were great. Challenge met.
