Gary and Terry on this excursion consisting of 1 x 95 minute and 1 x 82 minute dive in water depths of 14 m to 17 m. 12 m viz, 26 C water temp and no surge.
It has been two months since the water conditions and family commitments have allowed us to get the boat out and venture offshore. Seas were calm and visibility excellent for this site. Although we did not find any new species to add to our list it was good to find the reef in such healthy conditions and a good variety of nudibranchs.
