A double boat dive by Gary, Kelly, David and Amanda of 48 and 49 minutes. Maximum depth 19.9 m, 20 C water temperature and up to 15 m viz.
Nudibranch Day again with Sunreef. This time the wreck not the reef. After the big swells of late the wreck seemed to be scarse in the nudibranch population and food sources. Never the less we did manage to find some interesting species. Kelly found Diacavolinia longirostris in a Black Sun Coral, Tubastrea, probably being fed on.
