A single shore entry dive by Gary of 133 minutes. Maximum depth 5.7 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
More rain did not damper our urge to dive. The water looked very nice and the tidal movement was low. Goniodoridella sp. 1 and Pteraeolidia semperi yet again proved very common. Finding two species of Costasiella sp. was a treat. Dermetobranchus sp. 12 a new species was another great find with it's orange oral veil, pink margin and blue sub-marginal botches and no noticable ridges.
