A single shore solo dive by Gary on this excursion consisting of 1 x 173 minute dive in water depth up to 6.9 m, up to 3 m viz, 27 C water temp.
It was time to go and see what was at the Toilet Block. The water looked pretty nice. Finding a mating pair of Mexichromis was a treat. Rostanga arbutus and egg mass from under a rock was a nice find as well. On the side of a rock was a 3 mm Aeolid. After reviewing the photos it was discovered this is another new species.... Tenellia sp. 54. The river keeps on giving.
