A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 153 minutes. Maximum depth 5.7 m, 20 C water temperature, 6 m viz.

Another dive to take in because the tides turn to darkness and there is weather trouble a coming. The water is warming up. It took about 2 minutes to record our 1109th species - Elysia sp. 43.  Thecacera pennigera is doing very well. Today Thecacera pennigera out numbered Murphydoris cobbi, let's hope that trend keeps going!

A single solo shore entry dive with Gary of 147 minutes. Maximum depth 5.6 m, 19 C water temperature, 3 m viz.

While tide times are good off I went in search of more new "come-back-species". The viz had dropped off due to big winds offshore. A few Thecacera pennigera were nice to record. Myja sp. 1, Plocamopherus tilesii and Tenellia sp. 66 were also species that have come back. Nice dive!
