Gary, Julie and Terry on this double dive outing consisting of 1 x 83 minute and 1 x 76 minute. Up to 8 m viz, 20 C water temp, surgey, rainy and overcast conditions.
It seemed like the Nudibranch population has dropped off. The hunting proved to be challenging with the bits of surge shooting through. Just trying to take photos proved difficult at times. The second dive had a little more surge but glassy surface conditions. We miss you buddy David...hurry back.
