22 species sighted at, Fish Cage, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast, Qld, 18-11-2018.

A single shore dive by Gary of 139 minutes. Maximum depth 5.7 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.

The river waits for those who are brave enough to enter it....so off I went. This dive I floated up river a bit to get maximum sand where I focussed on the sand this dive. Some interesting species were found. Costasiella sp., Niparaya sp. and Okenia liklik are always a treat to find. As usual of late Flabellina rubrolineata and Goniodoridella savignyi were every where.
