Terry, and David on this excursion consisting of 2 dives:
The first dive x 67 minutes at C Spot in water depths from 19 m to 21 m, 15 m viz, 25 C water temp and no surge.
The second dive x 73 minutes at Rocky in water depths from 17 m to 21 m, 10 m viz, 26 C water temp and no surge.
Surface conditions were a little joggly but apart from a little surface current diving conditions subsurface were excellent. Plenty of the usual suspects were sighted with the Marionia cyanobranchiata, Diaphorodoris sp. 1 and the Pupa solidula shell being unusual finds. The Goniobranchus collingwoodi was a juvenile but the basic colours and pattern were evident.
