A double dive boat entry outing with Gary and 7 friends of two 50 minute dives, maximum depth 17.6 m, 22 C water temperature, up to 30 m viz!
A great sunny day for Nudibranch dives at Sunreef with a 1 m swell that was knocked down from the SW winds 10-15 km/hr. The water clarity was amazing. It did take me 10 minutes to record my first nudibranch...everyone loved staying close and going low and slow. Good day out!
