A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 216 minutes, 1.6 m, maximum depth 5.2 m, 22 C water temperature, 10 m viz.
The water has cleaned nice and clear. Some very interesting species were seen today, not seen in quite a while... Aglaja fulvipunctata, Facelina sp. 11, Gymnodoris sp. 31, Spurilla braziliana, Tenellia puti and Tenellia sp. 66. Todays dive was most excellent! The vis was a little distracting!
