Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Tuesday 07 April 2009

Nor'West Reef was dive one today and even though the current was stronger than on most of our dive sites, it was an excellent dive.  The white tip reef sharks were actively cruising up and over the reef edges, colourful nudibranchs were everywhere, the sea fans had their polyps out to catch food being carried by the current and schools of fishes sparkled in the sunlit water over the sand.  We also had an eagle ray do a fly-by!
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 20+m
CURRENT: moderate to strong
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

We ducked in to Gulliver's for dive two.  There was a ton of feeding action and all of the cleaning stations were doing brisk business.  Multiple olive sea snakes were out and about searching for hiding snacks.  A surprise visitor today was a big potato cod, languidly swimming along the outer edge of the site.
