Dive report - Muiron Islands Wednesday 19 August 2009

Glorious day!  Bright blue skies, calm seas, warm temperatures, clear water, amazing amount of marine life!

Whalebone was spectacular with vivid oranges, blues, yellows, purples, reds, pinks shining brightly over the whole site. Turtles, white tip reef sharks, massive potato cod, multitudes of parrotfish, schools of sea perch, funky nudibranchs, tiny moray eels...so much to look at!

East Side Bommies was also awesome. So many small, dancing chromis and damsels darting in and out of the staghorn coral it was dizzying. Blue spotted rays looked electrified, their spots glowing like neon. A few big pelagics - trevally, barracuda - were circling over the sand that surrounds the main bommies. A turtle chomped happily away while small wrasse and butterflyfish picked random bits off his shell. It was one of those dives that you never want to end!

We also snorkelled today and there were turtles, rays, sharks, anemonefish, curious angelfish following behind our fins...fantastic!! And, of course, we saw humpbacks throughout the day, too.
