Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Saturday 16 January 2010

Boy, is it humid today after the showers & squalls early last night! Underwater is definitely the place to be today. Our repeating divers wanted to hit Blizzard Ridge again so we headed there for dive one. They weren't disappointed as there seem to be even more fish in all the schools than there have been the past two days. One of the resident giant morays eels was out and about, slithering his way up the ridge and then relaxing in a deep hole while teensy transparent shrimps ran up and down his face. The firefish were off their ledges and hanging out against the blue with their fins spread wide.

100s & 1000s had tons of baitfish, many brightly coloured parrotfish, abundant nudibranchs, the cutest small turtle, big batfish and curious octopus. A gorgeously garish painted cray had almost his whole front half out in the open. One of those dives with one cool thing after another!
