23 species sighted at Fish Cage to Corner Rock (Rotunda) and back, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Qld. 03-02-2021.

A single shore entry dive with Gary, Ella and partner of 302 minutes. Maximum depth 6.1 m, 27 C water temperature, up to 4 m viz.

A friend moving from SA to Townsville wanted to check out the river, so off we went. More sunlight made the water very nice to dive. A very small juvenile Sakuraeolis nungunoides was recorded on the sand. It was great to see Hypselodoris whitei again. Unidentia sp. 1 was pretty common today! A juvenile Diversidoris aurantionodulosa on its sponge was another nice find. Thanks guys for coming!
