Julie, Terry and David on this single shore entry dive of 96 minutes. Maximum depth 6.5 m, 20 C water temperature and 2 - 3 m viz.
For our first dive of Spring we entered the water with great expectations following our much improved immersion of last week however either our searching skills were not up to the mark or the slugs were just not there to be found. The viz left a lot to be desired as well and really dropped off at the turn of the tide. In reviewing our images we were most surprised that the finds reached double digits.
