Species List: 17-11-2018, Nudi Ledge, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Qld.

35 species sighted at, Nudi Ledge, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast, Qld, 17-11-2018.

A double dive by David, Julie, Terry and Gary of 87 and 66 minutes. Maximum depth 16.9 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 5 m viz.

This time we loaded up Rebel and headed out to Currimundi Reef. The surface conditions were just about perfect and glassy. On the bottom things were a little different, it was surgey and pretty dirty. Mid water it was fairly clear. On top of that the GPS on the boat was not working properly so we found the dive site using a mobile phone and it worked.
