Julie, Terry, Gary and David on this single, shore entry dive of 150 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0 m, 26 C water temperature and 3 m viz.
The whole Team dived together for this outing and we mostly managed to keep out of each other's way. We keep finding the same number of species but different ones apart from the every-time regulars. It's still a joy after about 60 dives there over the past two years. You never know what's going to turn up.
