A single shore entry dive by Gary, Gail and Chris of 185 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 26 C water temperature and up to 5 m viz.
After an 8 m viz dive we decided to try Toilet Block. The viz was not as good due to the fact we entered 2 hours before high tide. Some interesting species wee found. Finding two Ceratosoma tenue was great. Noumeaella sp. 1 was also a nice find. Pteraeolidia semperi were out in force!
