We knew Easter Sunday was going to be an incredible day out to the Muiron Islands when we cruised out of Exmouth Marina and saw a 5m whale shark just bobbing along on the surface! It was totally unexpected as whale sharks are not usually seen in the Gulf. We spent about 20 minutes just watching him cruise along.
Our first dive of the day was at Keyhole and it was lovely. Lots of bright colours, tons of fish and white tip reef sharks. Feeding action and cleaning stations doing a brisk business. It was a far better dive than this little description makes it sound!
WATER TEMP: 29C
VISIBILITY: 12-15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 12m
It had been such an incredible day already we didn't think there was any way that our second dive - at Whalebone - could top it. We were wrong again! The most awesome nudibranch (we haven't identified him yet) was crawling across the sand. And those who like bigger things weren't disappointed: 3 bottlenose dolphins buzzed us - twice! And as if that wasn't enough, the most curious leopard shark ever languidly swam around and through the divers, too!
WATER TEMP: 29C
VISIBILITY: 10-12m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 12m
Exmouth Diving Centre runs trips out to the Muiron Islands every Wednesday and Sunday, so make sure you have at least one day to head out on this fabulous trip during your stay!
