Nudibranch Day at Sunreef is a go. Just over a metre of swell and 10-12 kms of winds to get better as the day wore on. Quite a bit a surge at the bottom but some nice finds non-the-less. Berthellina delicata found from under a rock and Glossodoris sp. 4. were great finds because they haven't been seen for a long time. Upon closer looking there a few Tenellia sp. 33 to be found. Another good Nudibranch Day!
