Dive report - West Side 27 July 2009

Awesome dives today!  We started at the Floats and it was beautiful, blue and crazy with action.  I'm afraid that I won't begin to do it justice as I'm too excited to tell you about dive two, but at the Floats we saw: turtles, rays, sharks, potato cod, schools of convict surgeons, parrotfish, angelfish, masses of glassfish, nudibranchs and a big bull ray.  Pretty much just a great dive.
WATER TEMP: 23C
VISIBILITY: 12m
CURRENT: very mild
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 16m

Then we went to Central Station and it was going off! Manta rays, sharks, turtles, schooling fish - just craziness everywhere we looked. There were so many cool things today that we can't narrow it down to a single best find so here are our top two: wobbengong sharks including a very small one who looked like a wee baby and a 2.5m+ Lemon Shark - we don't see these guys very often. Loved it! All of the crew agreed it was one of the best days we've had on Central - and that's saying something what with all the manta ray and shark action we've had here recently.
