Gary solo on this double dive outing with Sunreef Nudibranch Day consisting of 1 x 67 minute and 1 x 65 minute. Up to 20 m viz, 21 C water temp, a little surgey, sunny and beautiful conditions.
Today was Nudibranch Day and everyone that attended learned alot. There were quite a few species found but not our average at this site. A perfect day to dive, but on the bottom there was a little surge, just enough to make focussing a challenge. The water was very clean and you could see the bottm from the surface.
Number of each species sighted: 1st dive/2nd dive
