Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Friday 17th April 2009

Fantastic conditions for Lighthouse Bay again!  First up is Blizzard Ridge because the baitfish and hunter action is still going strong.  The schools of fish are growing - both in number and in the fish size...it's very cool to be able to watch the little guys grow up! One of our premiere spotters, Alyson (get to know her in her own EDC Team post!), found another great critter - a delicate, little pipefish! Some of our divers were treated to a pretty rare sight - a hunting white tip reef shark. It darted straight in under a ledge, grabbed lunch and zoomed around again. How cool is this dive site?!?!

Gulliver's had a lot to live up after our first dive and though it was quieter, it didn't disappoint. Quite a few white tip reef sharks lazed on the sand, huge schools of yellow & blue snapper hovered in midwater and octopus were out running all over the reef. Some of the octopus were even free swimming from place to place. The cleaning stations were active with each big fish getting two or three cleaner wrasse scrubbing away.
