Dive report - Lighthouse Bay, Saturday 30 May 2009

We had such a great time on our dive sites yesterday that we did the same two again today.  There's obviously something in the water as all of the big guys - cods, reef sharks, trevally - were super active.  One white tip reef shark was zooming all over Blizzard pausing only briefly to snuffle in a hole then he'd shoot out and zoom around again.  It was pretty neat to watch as usually they aren't quite this active!

Gulliver's had a surprisingly strong current today. The schools of fish were loving it: they'd smoosh together, drift a little ways and then each fish would start wiggling its tail and they'd move back to where they were before. It was like watching the Mexican Wave at a football game! Lots of critters that normally hang under ledges and way back in holes - various cardinalfish, shrimps, eels - were venturing out a little further than normal, maybe to grab drifting snacks?
