Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Friday 27 November 2009

Whoops! I apologise for this blast from the past - I accidentally left it in our drafts folder instead of hitting the publish button!

Exmouth's Ningaloo Reef offered up another fantastic dive day for us. We headed to Gulliver's first up and although there was lots of food (ie floaties) in the water, we still had good visibility and pretty blue water. Today was a cod day: rankin, potato, coral, chinaman, estuary & black tipped rockcod. The octopus were also out and about, showing off their sexy legs & dazzling patterns. Of course, all the usual suspects - sharks, eels, rays, turtles, schools of fish - were glad to see us, too!
WATER TEMP: 25C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 12m

Blizzard Ridge had fabulous fish action again - it seems like our resident schooling threadfin pearl perch, snapper and fusiliers are multiplying every week! Big pelagics buzzed through the dive today, too: big spanish mackerel & some enormous golden trevally. Wobbegong sharks were snoozing right out in the open and moray eels of all sizes stuck well out of holes. The cleaning action here was fierce with big lines and multiple cleaner fish & shrimps on every customer. Love this dive site!
