Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Thursday 7 May 2009

Lighthouse Bay was clear and active again today.  We hit two favourites with a boatload of first time Lighthouse Bay visitors. Blizzard Ridge was first up and all the usual suspects were out and about: whitetip reef sharks, rays, olive sea snakes, schools of threadfin pearl perch, snappers and cardinalfish, big cod, bullseyes, lionfish, nudibranchs.  We also saw quite a few large unicornfish and a nice school of yellow fin tuna.

The cleaning stations at Gulliver's were super busy with multiple cleaner wrasse working on each fish as it came in and with lines of fish hanging out waiting for a turn. Another big bull ray lay resting on the sand while a number of blue spotted rays puffed sand all over the place, looking for food. The mantis shrimp are still being brave on the southern end of the site. We also found another razorfish doing his weaving, waving dance across the sand.
