A single solo shore dive by Gary on this excursion consisting of 1 x 181 minute dive in water depth up to 6.2 m, 2-3 m viz, 26 C water temp.
The day was looking like a cracker so off to the river I went anticipating huge crowds, but there wasn't. There was a bit of current in the beginning but all in all it was a good dive. Finding Diversidoris aurantionodulosa from under a rock was a great find. Quite a few bubble shells were found as well. I actually thought I had found a Corambe species also from under a rock, but after sending it to Bob Burn, he indentified it as a Polyclad.
