Elliot, Chris, Karl and I on this single shore entry dive of 113 minutes. Maximum depth 6.4 m, 25 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
Nice afternoon shore dive. Goniobranchus daphne was out in force and the numbers of Nudibranchs was lower than usual. This must have something to do with being closer to the river mouth. Another new species was found under a rock, Thordisa albomacula with its long papillae.
