David, Julie, Terry and Gary on this excursion consisting of 1 x 101 minute and 1 x 81 minute dives in water depths up to 14.8 m, up to 10 m viz, 23 C water temp.
Today the winds looked to be again from the north so we thought we would try Old Woman Island again. The bottom conditions were great. Two pairs of Team members went opposite directions and the Species List grew. This site is diverse. Two new species makes this trip memorable.
