Dive report - Muiron Islands Monday 20 April 2009

Beautiful day out to the Muiron Islands today for a special trip.  Our first dive site was Jaws and it was very active with turtles, sharks, rays and huge angelfish.  Masses of neon blue damsels and blue-green chromis reflected the sun streaming through the water at the top of the reef.
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: very mild
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 12m

Dive two was at Whalebone and again this site was drenched in colour. The batfish were being cleaned and swaying right on the sand. Moray eels peeked from small holes - some of the eels were as small as your little finger!
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: very mild
DEPTH: 12m

Snorkelling later was excellent with swarms of fish and a few turtles lazing on the surface. A big school of convict surgeons rolled over the reef, totally obscuring everything else for what seemed like minutes! This school was huge.
