A single avo come night shore entry dive Gary, Fran and Nevar of 305 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 25 C water temperature, 7 m viz.
Upon arriving at the river the water looked very clear. Upon arrival to the bottom the water was still nice. Finding another Goniodoridella sp. 3 was great even tho it was quite small and took a while to find from under a delicious rock. Many bubble shell animals were found. Goniodoridella sp. 1 has come back. All in all this another great dive in this magnificent river. And to top it all off our total for the dive between us was 47.
