Gary & David on this single shore entry dive of 146 minutes. Maximum depth 6.4 m, 25 C water temperature and up to 10 m viz.
Near perfect conditions were enjoyed on this dive in the river. Lots of species were sighted including some not-so-common slugs. The number of specimens sighted of Hypselodoris obscura is worth mentioning. They were mostly very large. One new species was added to our Sunshine Coast list with Elysia sp. 18.
