A single shore entry dive by David, Gary and sometimes Terry of 141 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 21 C water temperature and 5 m viz.
This dive was one of our most productive river dives. We scoured the substrate and were rewarded with over 30 species, a count normally found on the outer reefs. Along with that the current was low maybe allowing the nudibranchs to come out and play. A great mix of species made for an exciting dive.
