A single shore entry dive by Gary and David of 210 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 6 m viz.
A nice warm summerish morning was ours for the taking. We drifted upriver just past the causarina tree and started out quest. Many critters were to be found. A pleasent surprize was turning over a rock and seeing Baeolidia australis, a species we have not recorded yet. Another Niparaya animal was found that is similar to one other we have but has a white foot, I'll keep that separate for now. And after turning over a pipe fell two Ategema sp. 1...what a surprise a new record for this wonderful river.
