A single shore entry dive with Gary, Cordula, Christian and Mia of 123 minutes, 1.8 m, maximum depth 5.4 m, 26 C water temperature, up to 3 m viz.

Time to dive now that everyone is well. Mia with her new camera and off we went into the 1.8 m flow. A 1.8 m tidal flow meant it game on! Only two Cratena pawarshindeorum were seen today while Murphydoris cobbi continues rule the substrate. At the beginning of the dive I located the small rock to show the guys Idaliadoris maugeansis. Coryphellina sp. juvenile was spotted in an image after the dive! Nice to see Goniobranchus verrieri juvenile again. Let's get ready for the next dive...
