A single shore entry dive with Gary, Steve Coutts and friends of 241 minutes. Maximum depth 5.3 m, 19/20 C water temperature, up to 8 m viz.
Steve is still in town and we need to get in the river again. Some more interesting species were recorded today. Anteaeolidiella cacaotica, Doto sp. 3, Trapania brunnea and Spurilla braziliana were great to see again. And lastly, it was wonderful to record from under a rock, a juvenile Cratena pawarshindeorum from under a rock!
