Blizzard Ridge never disappoints and today we had lots of good sized schools of fish hanging out all along the site, even in areas where we usually don't see schools. An enormous black bull ray was napping on the sand with his head tucked up under a ledge while small bright blue & green parrotfish munched on the coral right above him. Many red & white striped cleaner shrimp were sitting on the edge of their lairs, flicking their long white antennae trying to attract some customers. The fish life today was, once again, superb with too many and too many species to count!

Gulliver's cornered the market on white tip reef sharks. They were lazing in the sand, swimming slow circuits around coral outcrops and tucked up under ledges getting away from it all. Every cleaning station had a big rankin cod with a gaping mouth and flared fins as cleaner wrasse darted in and out. There seem to be more anemonefish in a couple of the big anemone patches today, too. Fish, eels, shrimp, nudibranchs, more fish, a small turtle...great dive!

Bundegi Sanctuary had a nice current for our drift snorkel and it seemed like everyone was out to play: trevally, barracuda, barramundi cod, parrotfish, surgeonfish, big angelfish, turtles, blue spotted stingrays, schools of damsels, anthias & convicts. Fabulous!
