A single shore entry dive by Gary, Sheryl, Fran and Nevar of 133 minutes. Maximum depth 5.5 m, 24 C water temperature and up to 3 m viz.
The dredger is back and so is the silt. Viz was down to 4 m max. We still managed to find some interesting animals. Costasiella kuroshimae and Doto sp. 3 were great finds. Hopefully the other Costasiella species will come back.
