A single shore entry dive by Gary, David, Julie and Terry of 147 minutes. Maximum depth 5.9 m, 22 C water temperature and 1-2 m viz.
After a really successful dive the other day we all decided it time to go again. This time the water temp was 22C and a little less viz which made it more challenging. Of notice is 1 new species, Retusa pelyx. Another Niparaya sp. was also found and as a matter of beauty Gymnodoris amakusana made its presence.
