It seemed like everyone wants to do a night dive today with a 1.3 m tidal flow off we went. Yes the 1.3 m tidal flow was flowing! It was great to see Toilet Block come back so nicely after 10 months since our last dive there. Tenellia species were really out in force. The pair of Tambja victoriae made a lot of happiness. Five come-back-species really set the evening!
