Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Monday 27 April 2009

We're a little out of date order, but that's OK!

Blizzard Ridge was very active again today with hunting golden trevally (some huge) shooting through the renewed huge curtains of baitfish.  Olive sea snakes were numerous as were the wobbegong sharks.  There's also more teeny stuff being noticed like the two Hypselodoris maculosa nudibranchs that were each only about a centimeter long! There was also a loggerhead turtle hanging around.
WATER TEMP: 27C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none

Gulliver's had some of the biggest white tip reef sharks we've seen in quite a while cruising around. Several mantis shrimp were out of their holes and scooting from one place to another, antennae waving. Octopus were changing colours and textures.
WATER TEMP: 27C
