A single shore dive by Gary and Chris of 165 minutes. Maximum depth 5.2 m, 27 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
Another day and another dive in the river. Afternoon come night was in order. The current was low and the viz was plenty to find nudibranchs. Seeing Phyllodesmium undulatum on its food source was a real treat as well as a large Hypselodoris zephyra. Cratena lineata and Flabellina rubrolineata were out in force. Another new species was found Gymnodoris sp. 21 with its bulbous rhinophores and very wide foot.
