Another solo dive in the river nice and relaxing. Not as many Unidentia species as before. The four C's were great to see again - Cerberilla sp. 3, Colinatys sp. 1, Colpodaspis sp. 2 and Costasiella sp. 2. Goniodoridella savignyi continues to be most common. A pair of Hallaxa iju from under a rock were also nice to see. The Philinopsis speciosa animals were quite large. And a new Niparaya species was found as well.
