Dive Report - Lighthouse Bay, Monday 13 April 2009

We just can't resist Blizzard Ridge! Today was Meet a Wobbie Day with wobbegong sharks hanging out under various coral outcrops. We even saw a very very small wobbie - definitely the smallest anyone can remember...all head and tail, no body yet! The olive sea snakes were out in numbers, too, and the big schools of baitfish attracted a large potato cod in for a look-see.
WATER TEMP: 27C
VISIBILITY: 10-12m
CURRENT: mild
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 14m

Dive two took us to Gulliver's and the white tip reef sharks were everywhere. Swimming and following each other around. They were more animated than usual so it was nice to see that some of them actually do move! Numerous turtles watched the divers as they slowly made their way to the surface and then returned after a breath or two to snuggle into a coral crevice for a much needed nap.
