Species List: 03-07-2022, Northeast Reef, Old Woman Island, Nudibranch Day with Sunreef, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia

23 species sighted at Northeast Reef, Old Woman Island, Nudibranch Day with Sunreef, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 03-07-2022.

A double boat entry dive with Gary, David, Kelly-Anne, Tomas and friends of 55 minutes each. Maximum depth 13.2 m, 19 C water temperature, 2-3 m viz first dive, 8 m viz second dive.

After a bit of rain the weather allowed us to get in for Nudibranch Day. The first dive with no Sun shining was a bit dark and low vis. The second dive has less wind and plenty of Sun. Some nice species were recorded today. On the first dive I reeled out and dropped the reel, looked up to see a Stiliger aureomarginatus, very nice to see! Some very interesting finds were made today.
