29 species sighted at Fish Cage, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Qld. 17-03-2021.
A single shore entry dive with Gary and David of 304 minutes. Maximum depth 6.2 m, 26 C water temperature, up to 4 m viz.
David said let's night dive, who is going to argue? A bit of rain, an outside swell of over 3 m and a big easterly blowing and we still had up to 4 m vis. BUT finding Carminodoris sp. 4 NEW SPECIES was great! Also finding Cerberilla sp. 2 was another surprise! My fav shell Ringicula sp. 1 was recorded again tonight.
