A single shore entry dive by Gary and Elliot of 138 minutes. Maximum depth 5.7 m, 21 C water temperature and up to 8 m viz.
The first dive of spring did not disappoint! The species recorded was almost back to normal. The Elysia sp. 11, Doto sp. 3 and Eubranchus sp. 3 where nice to find again. The later two were 3 mm long. And to top it all off there was one Hypselodoris obscura that had to of been around 120 mm in length, a monster of the river!
