Dive report - Lighthouse Bay Friday 21 August 2009

Another stunner of a winter's day here in Exmouth with just a gentle breeze, barely any swell and stacks of action above and below!  Humpback whales galore showed off for us on our way to and from the dives sites in Lighthouse Bay and during our surface intervals.

Dive one was Blizzard Ridgee and it looks like the fish life doubled in the past few days!  Huge schools of snapper, perch, big eyes, squirrelfish.  Rankin cod of all sizes zooming here and there.  Olive sea snakes, lionfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, bannerfish, nudibranchs and moray eels.  So much to see!
WATER TEMP: 21C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 14m

Labyrinth was so busy it almost outdid Blizzard for sheer numbers of fish today. We also had excellent turtles, rays, white tip reef sharks and lots of very well camouflaged scorpionfish decorating almost every reef outcrop.
