A single shore entry dive by Julie, Terry and David of 145 minutes. Maximum depth 6.2 m, 25 C water temperature and 3 m viz.
Another long and rewarding dive in the Mooloolah River with almost half the species found being aeolids. Phyllodesmium undulatum was sighted once again effecting a quite photogenic subject with its gorgonian host as backdrop. Abronica purpureoanulata was first sighted at Hutchinson Shoals a couple of months ago and now also seen today, in the River.
