Dive report - West Side Monday 22 June 2009

The Floats was active with schooling fish passing back and forth over the reef fingers again.  We also have a return to really pretty deep blue water after a few days of slightly greyer blues.  A good sized school of 40 or so pilot fish topped our list of cool things seen followed closely by an enormous moray eel waving from his hole.  We haven't seen this huge moray here before, so hopefully he's moved in for a while!
WATER TEMP: 24C
VISIBILITY: 12-15m

Central Station had more cool scorpionfish covering the reef. We also found the complete opposite moray eel to the one from dive one - he was so teensy, none of the divers had ever seen such a tiny one before. Octopus were abundant and a little less shy than they were the other day. We had a green turtle come and check us out and trumpetfish shadowing cod as they hunted. Favourite find today was another small critter - a little blue boxfish buzzing in and out of the coral heads, too cute!
