15 species sighted at Fish Cage, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Qld. 17-02-2021.
A single shore entry dive with Gary and Chris of 160 minutes. Maximum depth 6.0 m, 26 C water temperature, up to 4 m viz.
Today I dived with the TG-6 and it internal light-ring and the housing. Here are the results. Probably due to a lot of silt the species count was very low. Unidentia animals were quite common today. And when we finished the dive it was pissing down with rain and wind!!
