Milyering Wall is always good and today it was fantastic. Some of the largest coral trout ever were showing off their bright blue spotted orange bodies - blinding in the bright sun & clear waters! Groups of trevally patrolled the edge of the reef and every crevice and swim through was filled with baitfish and small cods. Batfish bobbed up and down along the site. Best sight today? A big group of moblos - pygmy mantas - cruising past! Woohooo!

We're always looking for more dive sites to add to our repertoire and we found an awesome one with help from one of our pilots - Cam's Canyon. The site is a collection of incredible valleys, lumps, gullies, ledges and other reef structures. It comes all the way up to 5m and the snorkellers had a stunning time, too. The hard corals here are simply outstanding in their variety, size and number. The marine life is outstanding, too. A massive Queensland Grouper, a chunky bronze whaler shark, manta rays, turtles and wobbegong sharks were just some of the biggest creatures on the day. This site has already become a favourite and we can't wait to head back!

A large school of manta rays cavorted on the surface as we were cruising the reef - their wings flicking out of the water as they'd bank in steep turns to suck up more of the rich takings from the tide line they were in. Humpback whales were everywhere, their blows creating miniature rainbows. A stunner of a day.
