Winter is coming. I felt chilled on this dive and so the drysuit comes out! This dive was ended sooner as I approached the Rotunda I was overcome but lots of divers and zero vis. Turned out to an Instructor coarse going on. Again Doto animals seem to be everywhere as well as Murphydoris cobbi, I don't mind!
