Terry and Julie on this excursion of 1 x 120 minute dive in water depths to 5.8m, 10m viz, 24 C water temp.
With a northerly wind forecast and the swell reduced we decided it was an opportune time to check out Kings Beach as we have not dived here for a while. Although asparagopsis dominated the substrate and kept the count number low, the water was relatively clean and the surge manageable.
