A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 133 minutes. Maximum depth 6.9 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 6 m viz.
With the Easter break coming I thought now is a good time to dive the river. The water was pretty clean and the nudibranchs were abundant. At this sight Pteraeolidia semperi is very common with Goniodoridella sp. 1 coming in a close second. A few of great finds were in order as well.
