Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Thursday 14 May 2009

Two fabulous dives again today in Lighthouse Bay.

Blizzard Ridge was first up and it was as active as always.  Huge school of five lined sea perch, cleaner wrasse working busily on fusiliers, olive sea snakes curled up under small ledges and wobbegong sharks lazing in the most uncomfortable looking positions.  The two banded pipefish are still hanging out in front of their little hole - hopefully they'll stick around for a long while.
WATER TEMP: 27C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 14m

Labyrinth was next and the turtles were abundant again. Some were hanging on the surface, others were snoozing on the reef and some were chomping on red bell jellies. Big batfish were getting cleaned at all the main cleaning stations and many spotted sweetlips hung out under ledges and over the big plate coral. Our best find today was a ghost pipefish!!
