Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Tuesday 12 May 2009

Blizzard Ridge was first up and we descended with some friendly snapper following us all the way down the mooring line.  Just off the mooring line, two tiny banded pipefish flitted in and out of their ledge.  They're so thin that if they aren't sideways, you can almost not see them even though you know they are there! All of the usual creatures were hanging out along the site...once again, just too much happening to record it all!

For dive two we started at one end of Labyrinth and ended up at Gulliver's. It's very cool to get a small glimpse of each of these sites during a single dive and the ground we cover in between the sites always has some cool stuff - sharks, rays, big turtles, schools of barracuda, odd sand anemones with pretty shrimps, soft & leather corals - to see that we don't get to when we concentrate on a single site. Labyrinth portion of today's dive was covered in turtles and Gulliver's looked like it was having a white tip reef shark convention. Fantastic diving!
