Dive report - Muiron Islands Sunday 3 May 2009

Today we had a bit of a choppy, rolly crossing from the Cape to the Muiron Islands but the temporary discomfort was soon forgotten once we got in at Cod Spot for our first dive. There were so many cods - rankin, potato, estuary - it was crazy. Just when we thought we'd seen the biggest one, another bigger one would appear. Half of the site had a swarm of baitfish, but the predator fish were keeping station just off in the blue...they must have been full already! Turtles, rays, parrotfish, butterflyfish, nudibranchs - great dive.

Colour, amazing colour! Keyhole looked like a whole treasure chest filled with every possible jewel today. The sunlight streamed down making everything sparkle and glow - it was amazing. We must have seen every colour variation of parrotfish and angelfish on this dive - bright purple, blue, green, orange, pink, yellow. A true kaleidoscope. Gorgeous.
