Gary, Gail and Jason on this single shore entry dive of 96 minutes. Maximum depth 5.6 m, 20 C water temperature and 10 m viz.

The water clarity was again amazing in the river. The clear water made this search easier. Finding Goniodoridella sp. 5 again was nice. And yet again Goniodoridella sp. 1 was most common.
