A single shore entry dive by Gary, David, Brenton and Sheryl of 156 minutes. Maximum depth 6.4 m, 23 C water temperature and up to 6 m viz.
A 31C temperature was predicted for today and it was last day of a 3 day weekend. Hangup the drysuit! 23C water temp was the beginning of summer. As silly as it was our mission in the beginning was to locate the sea-horse again...I found it and recorded it. Back to business. Since we got in early there was a nice current and the count was lower than anticipated. It was very nice to see Sakuraeolis nungunoides, Sclerodoris apiculata and Sebadoris fragilis again.
