Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Thursday 21 May 2009

Blizzard Ridge showed off its octopus population today. Everywhere we looked octopus were peeking out of holes, scurrying across the reef, standing up tall on a rocky outcrop or sneaking an arm shyly out of a hole. The olive sea snakes were also out in force. All of the usual schools of fish, wobbies, and cleaning stations were happening, too.

We couldn't resist heading back to Labyrinth after all the exciting things we've been seeing there lately. Today we again saw elusive Mr. Tiger Shark - lucky divers!! Green turtles seem to have gathered for a convention as quite a few places along the reef had two or even three turtles hanging out together. Lots of small stuff to see, like the harlequin shrimp guarding a prized sea star leg.
