 8 species sighted at Fish Cage, Mooloolah River, La Balsa Park, Buddina, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 23-02-2024.

A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 36 minutes, 1.9 m, maximum depth 5.2 m, 28 C water temperature, 3-4 m viz.

This dive was a dive to try and work out air spillage in the full face mask. I could not work it out. Found out the water was quite nice. I also noticed that quite a bit of sand has worked its way into the area covering some landmark rocks. Still plenty of Murphydoris cobbi about.
