Dive Report - Lighthouse Bay, Tuesday 14 April 2009

So many red bell jellyfish (not stingy!) through the whole bay today.  We hit Blizzard Ridge and the smaller fish were making meals of the dead red bells. There was tons of plankton-type floaties, too. Every lionfish for miles was hanging out here on the ridge, hovering just over the sand or floating in mid-water. If you hang out with one for long enough, he'll get bored and show you a big yawn! We are also seeing more big flatheads in the sandy patches lately.

Dive two at the Labyrinth also had quite a few red bells and the turtles were feasting while small wrasse darted in and out trying to steal morsels right from the mouths of the turtles. All of the white tips were being lazy but the octopus were out and about...some were even swimming from coral bommie to coral bommie!
