A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 183 minutes. Maximum depth 6.4 m, 25 C water temperature and maximum 2-4 m viz.

Since all my dive buddies are busy doing other things I thought it would be nice to dive the river alone and I was not dissapointed. After spotting another Goniodoridella sp. 1 right next to it a Costasiella sp. 1. We're talking tiny!
