A single shore entry dive by Gary, Katarina and Sheryl of 202 minutes. Maximum depth 4.8 m, 25 C water temperature and up to 12 m viz.
After a great day of clear water yesterday we were at it again to see consistency. The three of us went downriver while Fran and Nevar went upriver, this list covers the whole Rotunda area. The great highlight was finding a Thecacera pennigera in the river, out newest species. Exciting! This looks like a new record for Queensland.
