9 species sighted at Fish Cage, Mooloolah River, La Balsa Park, Buddina, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 16-09-2022.
A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 147 minutes. Maximum depth 5.6 m, 19 C water temperature, 3 m viz.
While tide times are good off I went in search of more new "come-back-species". The viz had dropped off due to big winds offshore. A few Thecacera pennigera were nice to record. Myja sp. 1, Plocamopherus tilesii and Tenellia sp. 66 were also species that have come back. Nice dive!
