Gary & David on this single shore entry dive of 141 minutes. Maximum depth 6 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 5 m viz.
We entered the water late afternoon and resurfaced after sundown. A fair number of different species were sighted but specimen numbers were modest. The river coughed up yet another new species to our Sunshine Coast list by way of Jorunna sp. 6. Discodoris lilacina and Trapania euryeia are new to our river list.
