20 species sighted at Fish Cage, Mooloolah River, La Balsa Park, Buddina, Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. 29-04-2023.
A single shore entry dive with Gary, Sheryl and David of 223 minutes. Maximum depth 5.4 m, 23 C water temperature, up to 4 m viz.
Interest for a dive after our Doco meeting was in order. We got in 4 before a 1.1m high tide and the vis was dirty very dirty. As the little current picked up the viz got up to 4 m. Four Come-back-species were found today, this was the icing on the cake.
