A double dive by Gary, David and Gail with Sunreef of 47 and 49 minutes. Maximum depth 18.2 m, 26 C water temperature and up to 15 m viz.
Today was Nudibranch Day at Sunreef Scuba. The day was near perfect and wind and swell had deminished. The water clarity was a surprise. A couple nice species were found in particular a large Phyllidiopsis cardinalis with it's camo body and vivid yellow ventral side. Mexichromis macropus was also found right near the anchor. All in all a nice day on the water - eating "snakes". A pleasent surprise was finding two Colpodaspis thompsoni in the photo of the pair of Doriprismatica atromarginata after the dive.
