A single shore entry dive by Gary and Harvey of 156 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 23 C water temperature and up to 7 m viz.
Another beautiful dive in the river. a 1.9m tidal flow didn't affect us at all. For some reason Goniodoridella savignyi were literally everywhere I looked, one boulder I counted 32 animals on it. Head shield slugs have been laying a bulbous egg mass and today we found Favorinus sp. 5 in one, a long time of looking paid off today. I was very excited to find two Julia exquisita today, they are magnificent animals. Phyllodesmium undulatum continues to impress! And Niparaya sp. 10 was found for the second time. Philinopsis sp. 3 was found and beautiful it is and similar to Philinopsis orientalis but different.
