Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Tuesday 30 March 2010

Blizzard Ridge was hopping again today. More and more baitfish are moving in every day, it seems. The school of threadfin pearl perch is growing and today there must have been 35 individuals swaying together - all so mellow we could hang inches from them. Two wobbegong sharks shared a ledge for a deep snooze, totally disinterested in the dancing shrimp jiggin' on their heads. A nice variety of nudibranchs and a few very tiny moray eels with bright orange eyes dotted the reef.

The white tip reef sharks at Gulliver's were being exceptionally lazy, barely swimming two feet before plonking back down in a puff of sand. Five-lined sea perch were lit up - their bright yellow and blue bodies standing out in the blue water. All of the anemonefish were bouncing, diving, zooming - it was a bit dizzying to watch! Several of the cleaning stations had lines of cod waiting, while one cleaning station had a huge rankin cod dominating the whole cleaning crew and not one other fish was lined up behind him.
