Spring has arrived! Hopefully the rain will stop for a while. The water clarity was nice this morning. A weak 1.5m tidal flow kept clarity good. Today was Flatworm day. Great to see Thecacera still out and about. Also found after the dive while reviewing photos was only to see a juvenile Pleurobranchus peronii.
