A single shore entry dive by Gary and Jenny of 150 minutes. Maximum depth 5.7 m, 21 C water temperature and up to 8 m viz.
Early morning darkness, at the start, called to us. This time I focused on the boulder field instead of the flats which proved a good decision with 22 species being found including a new Tenellia our 808th species. A total of 133 animals were recorded.
