A double boat entry morning with Gary, Sheryl, Kelly-Anne, Tomas, Micheal and more of 56 and 56 minutes. Maximum depth 18.4 m, 19 C water temperature, 15+ m viz.
Finally a day diving for Nudibranchs with weather that was great! 5 kts of wind, no surface current, very tiny surge with a 1 m swell. We dived the outer reaches of Shellacy Reef and dived Hanging Rock for the second. Super clean water on the bottom. Some very interesting finds today!
