A single shore entry dive by Gary, David, Steve, Fran and Nevar of 186 minutes. Maximum depth 6.1 m, 27 C water temperature and up to 1-1.5 m viz.
The intrepid dive team decided not to let a little brown run-off river stop them. The brown water was eerie and yet surreal. There was a lot of fluff and weed in the water which basically made this a dive night. Interestingly all the red corals looked dead and the numbers of Nudibranchs has dropped right off. Today's conditions were what everyone else would have said....NO WAY!
