A single shore entry dive by Gary and Brenton of 160 minutes. Maximum depth 5.8 m, 22 C water temperature and up to 6 m viz.
A NEW RECORD for recorded species in the river.
After a record breaking dive, the day before yesterday, we thought we would give it another go. A northery blowing about 25-30 km/hr was definately a reality today! Dispite that we started our search at the 'seat' and worked our way north. This dive turned out to be more productive then the last...another new record for the river, in species recorded, 2 new species and 1 new species for the river. Just what does the future hold?
