A single shore entry dive by Gary and friends of 140 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 22 C water temperature and up to 4 m viz.
A good day to get a dive in before the big seas and winds. The water temp dropped to 22C so that means drysuit time. Some intersting species were found today including a palm sized Sebadoris fragilis and Hypselodoris zephyra feeding. "Scarface" the Ceratosoma tenue was found again as well.
