A single shore entry dive by Julie, Terry and Gary of 110 minutes. Maximum depth 6.4 m, 20 C water temperature and maximum 6 m viz.
Winter brings clear water and lately the river has done just that. A big surprise was finding a 175 mm Marionia pustulosa, Spurilla braziliana, a new species to the river was Pupa affinis. Pteraeolidia semperi was out in force and pretty much every time you turned it was there.
