A single solo shore entry dive by Gary of 185 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 22 C water temperature and 10-15 m viz.
After 3 days of rain I was going to be happy with 2 m vis and as the sun came up the clear water blew me away. The vista were so visible. The highlight of the day was finally finding evidence of a Pteropod in the river. The shell of Diacavolinia longirostris was recorded and is another new species for the river. Goniodoridella animals were almost everywhere!
