A single shore entry dive with Gary, David and Sheryl of 274 minutes, 1.2 m, maximum depth 5.0 m, 28 C water temperature, 1-2 m viz.

The tide was a 1.2 m and we have not dived Bubble Wall in a long time, so off we went. No Cratena pawarshineorum were to be seen. A new species of Elysia with a white triangle on its head was found x6 Elysia sp. 58. Nice to see some Hydatina physis in the corner again, Sheryl was happy! We have not seen Jorunna hervei on its sponge in a long time so was a pleasant surprise. Tenellia bughaw and Tenellia puti were a treat. Deadmans Finger gave us some sweets tonight, Elysia sp. 54 and Stiliger ornatus. This was a great dive.
