A single shore entry solo dive by Gary of 140 minutes. Maximum depth 5.0 m, 21C water temperature and up to 4 m viz.
Since the river was looking good I decided to see if I could find another Tenellia sp. 47 instead another new species was found. This new one was very close but different. Another new species was found with brilliant red cerata, 3 photos were taken before it disappeared. Finding a Plocamopherous ceylonicus was a treat!
