Julie, Terry, Gary and David on this excursion consisting of 1 x 73 minute and 1 x 76 minute dives in water depths from 15 m to 20 m. 7 m viz (measured), 23 C water temp and some light surge.
Perfect surface conditions were enjoyed again. The visibility was down somewhat compared to the recent dives on the Gneering Shoals but this was to be expected. The water temperature has slipped lower by half a degree. A great cross section of slugs were sighted.
Number of each species sighted: 1st dive/2nd dive
