A single shore entry dive by Gary and Rach of 200 minutes. Maximum depth 5.7m, 27 C water temperature and up to 8 m viz.
Nothing like an early morning summer dive! The water clarity continues to be quite good. After comparing one of the shells with a Haminoeidae paper it appears to be a Diniatys dentifer shell. I wonder how many I have found before...
