Terry, Julie and Gary on this single shore entry dive of 116 minutes. Maximum depth 3.5 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
A criusey afternoon shore dive. With near perfect surface conditions we were met with surge at the bottom making photography challenging. Along with the surge the Asparagopsis algae was also making the critter finds hard. You can't judge a book by its cover!
