Bundegi Bommies was first up during slack tide and it was amazing. There were so many "best sightings" that it's hard to choose just one, but after a bit of an impromptu vote, we decided it had to be the 6+ foot dusky whaler cruising around! Green turtles were abundant, trevally were schooling, Spanish Mackerel were buzzing in for a closer look. Millions of colours lit up the reef from the soft corals, to nudibranchs, to damsels & butterflyfish, to gorgeous parrotfish. Blue spotted sting rays were creating huge sand storms trying to find morsels as monocle bream hovered ready to snatch tidbits from the mess. Creatures and critters galore!!

We knew the tide would start moving for dive two, so we decided to make the most of it and do this as a Bundegi Drift dive. The current was very mild at the beginning and picked up to a moderate pace at the end of the dive - just perfect. White tip reef sharks, more turtles, firefish, egg cowries, nudibranchs laying egg spirals, coral trout, moray eels...so much to see. Best sight of this dive was a baby barramundi cod - so cute with his little black polka-dots and wavy fins!
