Ahhh midweek diving. Today was the first cool and dry winters day with a stiff westerly blowing. Lots of Nudibranchs in the river. Murphydoris cobbi is the boss. Dermatobranchus sp. 16 was great to record. Finally after the paper was published I record another Goniodoridella geminae. Nice. When the tide turned it got visually impaired!
