A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 183 minutes. Maximum depth 6.2 m, 27 C water temperature and up to 4 m viz.
With a 1.8 tide and what looked like clear water I dived the upper half of the site. Scouring the sand did not prove very successful probably due to the current, but nice nudibranchs were found non the less. On the sand at the edge of the channel was a flattened can, I turned it over and there sat a 40 mm Godiva quadricolor in all its glory. A real beauty.
