A single shore entry dive by Gary and Elisha of 140 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 22 C water temperature and up to 8 m viz.
The water temp is now at 22C and hopefully more species will start appearing in the river. Goniobranchus sp. 6 is one of those that disappeared during winter and has made an appearance once more. The highlight was a 50 mm Dendrodoris denisoni without a front end or rhinophores. The animal looked healthy and was making way over the sand quite nicely.
