Gary, Terry, & Julie on this single shore entry dive of 138 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 25 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
Starting up river at the tree we started the search. 2 other dive teams were in the water as well. Finding Godiva, Lomanotus and Plakobranchus are always a treat! There was a Pteraeolidia in the area of the 2 Godivas that showed signed of being eaten bit by bit. Good eyes Julie finding the Myja.
