A single shore entry dive by Gary and Sheryl of 212 minutes. Maximum depth 5.5 m, 24-25 C water temperature and up to 4 m viz.
An early morning dive was in order today. The viz has dropped off a little and the water temp was 24-25C. Although I only took one photo Tenellia sp. 60 is different from the others, another new one. Jorunna parva was also found today which is a new record for the river. Some species we have not seen in a while was Aglaja fulvipunctata and Anteaeolidiella ireneae. Surprizingly I turned over several rocks and from under them Onchidoris maugeansis was found. And upon a quick search of the Padina pavonia seaweed (which has invaded the river lately) a few Phyllaplysia lafonti came out to play as well as Aglaja fulvipunctata and Eubranchus sp. 3.
