A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 180 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0m, 27 C water temperature and up to 4 m viz.
A king tide and a 2.0 m tidal flow was predicted today so I entered the water 2 hours before high tide only meet the wind head-on. Because of this flow there weren't many nudibranchs to be seen. I did locate the hydroid bunch that contained the Myja animals.
