9 species sighted at Fish Cage, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Mooloolaba, Qld. 10-07-2021.

A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 121 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 18 C water temperature, up to 3 m viz.

After being sick with food poisoning I finally got back for a dive. A few challenges met me as I was getting into the gear. The water was a bit fluffed out with particles and the bottom was silt laden. The usual suspects...accept Weinkauffia reliqua which is always nice to see.
