Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Tuesday 26 May 2009


Today we dived at Blizzard Ridge first and it was hopping with big schools of snapper, fusiliers and sea perch.  Olive sea snakes were again out in force, including a couple of extremely fat ones searching for yet more food!  A couple of wobbies were soundly sleeping under a ledge together and clear dancing shrimp be-bopped their way across the heads of the snoozing sharks. A tawny nurse shark decided he didn't like us so much and swam off into the blue.
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 14m

Labyrinth was next up and although we didn't see our friendly tiger shark, there was tons of action. The school of batfish has increased and there must be well over 60 individuals of all sizes now. Nudibranchs were abundant, cleaning stations were busy and turtles were everywhere. The ghost pipefish is still way way back in his hole, screened by several zillion annoying little fish!
