A single shore entry dive by Gary and friends (3 teams searching) of 124 minutes. Maximum depth 6.7 m, 20 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
More weather more diving! Pteraeolidia semperi and Goniodoridella sp. 1 continue to be the most common. Some very nice finds were found today despite the wet weather we have had. The find of the day was Gymnodoris sp. 10 eating a Pteraeolidia semperi. The water temp continues to hover around 20C and I seem to be the only one that does not get cold!
