21 species sighted at Nudibranch Day with Sunreef, Shellacey Reef, Gneering Shoals, Sunshine Coast, Qld. 12-09-2021.
A double boat entry dive with Gary, David and friends of two 50 minute dives. Maximum depth 17.9 m, 20 C water temperature, up to 12 m viz. Thanks Elisha!
Today was Nudibranch Day, we had half the load due to the Ironman Event. Yes I got an up front park at 3.30 am! Tiny bit of surge up high and not a lot of critters on the first dive. More interesting and beautiful critters on the second dive.
