Dive Report - Lighthouse Bay Thursday 9 April 2009

Blizzard Ridge was rockin' again with the huge schools of baitfish getting a little smaller, but still providing ample cover and incentive for hungry trevally, rankin cod and coral trout.  The white tip reef sharks were lazing on the sand just off the ridge while lionfish patrolled the ledges with their pectoral fins spread way out.
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 14m

Labyrinth didn't have as many schools of baitfish but all of the cool reef creatures were out and about.  Crabs, shrimps, octopus, turtles, rays, mantis shrimps...everything seemed to be feeling brave!  A very cool razorfish was drifting along the sandy patch in the middle of the site...too fun to watch his erratic path!  There are also a huge number of big batfish popping their dorsal fins out of the water on the surface and then swimming along mid-water through shafts of sunlight - pretty!
