Julie, Terry, Gary and David on this excursion consisting of 2 x 90 minute dives in water depths from 13 m to 17 m. 20 m viz (measured), 19 C water temp and no surge.
Excellent boating and diving conditions continue to grace our section of coastline allowing us to continue our survey of the "Nudi" sites thanks once again to the generosity of Terry our skipper. Nudi 2 did not disappoint. As well as a high species count we sighted a number of not-so-common species for our camera lenses including Elysia maoria, Chromodoris lochi and Trinchesia sp. 18.
Number of each species sighted: 1st dive/2nd dive
