15 species sighted at Fish Cage, La Balsa Park, Mooloolah River, Sunshine Coast, Qld. 11-08-2021.
A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 185 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 18 C water temperature, up to 6 m viz.
After a report that the river vis was 2 m yesterday it was time to get in. The water was quite good with 6 m viz, plenty for me. Interestingly I recorded the second Elysia sp. 34 at a whopping 2.5 mm.
