Beautiful shot.  How big are they?

So, you just walk in from shore and there they are?

Hi Dave

this critter was around 50mm, some 300 odd species have been identified from the Mooloolah river. There are 3 lots of stairs that we use to enter/exit! Can’t get much easier than that!

check out Nudibranch.com.au if you are interested

Patience and knowing what to look for!

Also our dives are non guided so no one to try and keep up with. If you want to stare at a rock for 10 minutes no one will stop you and everyone should know that the slower you go the more you see
