Gary, Elisha and Elliot on this single shore entry dive of 138 minutes. Maximum depth 5.9 m, 23 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
After 17 days of storms, rain and wind the river finally looked good enough to dive. I expected not to see any nudibranchs due to the fresh water flush and chocolate water. To my surprize the river is back to normal!
