A single shore entry dive by Gary, David, Fran and Nevar of 242 minutes. Maximum depth 5.2 m, 22 C water temperature and 6-8 m viz.
Time for more Rotunda fun. Early morning start then the glow, water clarity not as good as two days ago. There were lot's of Nudibranchs! Goniodoridella sp. 1 seemed to be everywhere. Goniodoridella sp. 3 found from under a rock was another great find. A new Unidentia was an unusual animal to see with its white raised pustules.
