Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Friday 15 May 2009

Beautiful morning to head out for some diving in Lighthouse Bay. Unfortunately, the top of the Cape was extremely rough so it took a little fortitude to actually get there!  But the dives were well worth the adventure.

Blizzard Ridge's cleaning stations were very active today with small fusiliers, batfish and large cods all lining up and each station had multiple cleaner wrasse working on each fish. Wobbegong reef sharks were tucked under ledges and one of the huge moray eels was covered in tiny, clear cleaner shrimp.

Gulliver's also had very active cleaning stations and many of the cods had wide open mouths and flared gills. A big school of five lined sea perch merged with a school of yellow goatfish, not sure who was confused! White tip reef sharks circled each other on the sand patches.
