Top tip #3: Avoid hitting the wall

If you are doing multiple dives, over a number of days for the census, or any project, maybe frustration is setting in for you too with less new finds recorded?
Do not despair: nature is dynamic above and below water.
Conditions change with each tide and the critter haven from last week, or the previous day, may no no longer "the spot".
Take time to recharge and refocus: see what else is happening underwater with regard to fish life, shrimp, crabs and seastars and then who knows what species may be in front of you waiting to be photographed.
Getting involved in citizen science should be a positive experience, not a chore! The project is a team effort after all.
