Julie and Terry on this single shore entry dive of 129 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0 m, 24 C water temperature and 1.5 m viz. After a successful day on Monday, Terry and Julie headed to the river again. With a bit more current running, the visibility was slightly better than Monday, at least until the top of the tide. It was interesting that we found predominately different species on this excursion although we dived the same location in the river. Although there were no new finds on this dive, we did observe an extremely different colour form of Flabellina angelvaldesi (refer photo below).
