A Sunreef Nudibranch Day double boat entry dive with Gary and friends of two 50 minute dives, maximum depth 10 m, 22 C water temperature, 10 m viz.
Nudibranch Day is here again! Not as many as I would have thought but a cracker was turning over an old coral head and seeing a large Actinocyclus verrucosus! WOW after about 10 years seeing another one. Three Stiliger aureomarginatus nicely tucked together very nice to see again.
