A single shore entry dive by Gary and Amanda of 150 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 22 C water temperature and 2-4 m viz.
With the river showing signs of new discoveries off we went again. A couple of species seemed to be everywhere. The highlight was seeing a pile of fish poop that then moved! Our next new species Niparaya sp. 8. The beautiful Philinopsis speciosa was quite striking and nice to find. A nice dive.
