A single shore entry dive with Gary and Graham of 143 minutes, 1.3 m, maximum depth 5.4 m, 18 C water temperature, up to 10 m viz.
Yet again Winter water is here! Plenty of viz and clean water. Great to see Costasiella kuroshimae and Placida kevinleei in the river again. Goniodoridella unidonta is very much everywhere. Tenellia sp. 44 and Tenellia sp. 69 were also great finds again. Good dive! Thanks for F&C Graham!
