A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 233 minutes, 1.9 m, maximum depth 5.4 m, 26 C water temperature, up to 2 m viz.
Time to put time on the test computer and search for some lovelies! Two Goniobranchus variatus were seen today which was great. Murphydoris cobbi continues to be most common today. Three Elysia species were recorded. A half a dozen Goniobranchus daphnae were seen as well.
I had to end my dive because I was hooked 2 times by 8 Indonesians and I was pissed at their replies!! I have written to Council begging to have fishing banned...
