Julie, Terry and David were again joined by Sue and Rogan on this single shore entry night dive, of 111 minutes. Maximum depth 6.9 m, 28 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
With a high tide predicted at 20:30 hours it was a great opportunity to enjoy a true night dive. Whilst there were not great numbers of sea slugs to see the Atagema spongiosa was an excellent find being a new addition to our river list. Many crustaceans delighted us with their antics.
