A single shore entry dive by Gary, Kelly and Gail of 184 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 27 C water temperature and 10+ m viz.
This dive was early morning and the water looked very clear. On the bottom the water clarity was great. Again the river does not disappoint. Interesting species were recorded with a slow start. The numbers of Flabellina rubrolineata have dropped away. Phyllodesmium opalescens is always a visual treat to find.
