A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 184 minutes. Maximum depth 5.8 m, 27 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
With a 1.4 m high tide I went on searching consistancy of species. The tidal flow was low and the water particles were many. There was plenty of viz for the task. The numbers of Goniodoridella sp. 1 are still high. A very juvenile Thuridilla carlsoni had me thinking of new species. A half eaten Cratena simba was also found. But....the highlight was locating four Phyllodesmium undulatum in two areas, a real jewel! Finding a live Retusa sp. 5 in the silt was also a nice find.
