Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Monday 5 April 2010

Incredible. Today Lighthouse Bay was simply incredible.

Labyrinth has a gang of enormous coral trout marauding and flashing different colors and patterns as they tear around, scattering schooling fish all along their path. Big turtles wedged themselves among coral outcrops, rubbing their tummies back and forth for a sweet scratch. One of them laboriously un-wedged himself, swam straight at one diver, circled and swam straight back into another diver putting his face right up close before continuing on his way! Outstanding. We could go and on today but we'll just say that all of the usual suspects were out, active and super abundant. April is rockin' already!!

Blizzard Ridge - what's not to love here? There are baitfish, big schools of snapper & threadfin pearl perch, friendly bannerfish, wobbegong sharks under ledges, huge cow tail stingrays relaxing in the sand, olive sea snakes searching for a quick snack, brightly coloured damsels, butterfly & angelfish everywhere we look. Oh, and then there is the pair of banded pipefish. And the awesomely adorable small yellow anglerfish with teensy feet that are totally SQUEEE!
