A single shore entry dive by Gary, Nick and Terry of 116 minutes. Maximum depth 6.1 m, 19 C water temperature and around 5 m viz.
The river continues to impress. A few species were in abundance today as you can see from the numbers. Another new species was also found Discodoris sp. 6. The highlight, as usual, was when Nick showed us a 200 mm Marinia pustulosa!
