Dive report - Exmouth Gulf Sunday 28 June 2009

Friday's dive rocked so much we just couldn't stay away so headed back to Bundegi Bommies today. Conditions were very good again and the fish life was crazy!

Big schools of sweetlips, threadfin pearl perch, snapper, fusiliers, goatfish...they were under ledges, between bommies, on top of coralheads and hanging in the blue. Juveniles were also abundant from the teeniest baby angelfish to packs of red & yellow goatfish to shining silver streaks of fusiliers swimming a million miles an hour to the next outcrop - it was like Creche Gone Wild!

A couple of olive sea snakes, a wobbegong shark and a few turtles added some big guy stuff but our best sight of the day was...

...

...a dugong!! At first he was just a big shadow, then the tail fluke came into view as we swam to get closer and then the dugong turned so we got a lovely side view of his cute smile! We could hear squeaking and whistling through most of the dive so it was a real treat to get to see the source.
