Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Tuesday 28 April 2009

Can't resist Blizzard Ridge with all of the schools of fish and masses of baitfish still luring the predator fish in! And the continuing exceptional visibility is a nice bonus. One of the anemone patches has the teeniest baby Clarkii anemonefish on it and the bigger fish are super protective of it. Seems to be the right time of year for big stingrays and several were being inconspicuous in the sand flat at the top of the ridge. This site is so filled with cool stuff, you just can't see it all!

Labyrinth, another of our always awesome dive sites, continues to show us amazing things, no matter how many times we visit. Today there was a huge spotted ray - we're calling it a leopard ray, even though we know he isn't. The other common name for him doesn't do his beautiful black spots on a white background justice. I guess we could call him a Dalmatian ray :) We also had a group of over 50 big batfish, more turtles than we could count and mantis shrimp out of their holes waving antennae at us. A truly stunning dive!
