Labyrinth was first up and the turtles were super friendly. And everywhere. Sleeping, scratching, swimming; in singles and in pairs. It was Turtle City today! Octopus are out and about, many looking for mates & showing off cool colours and patterns. An enormous roughback stingray was making a huge billowing cloud of sand as he searched for a bit of late breakfast. All of the usual suspects - sharks, rays, anemonefish, shrimp, eels, nudibranchs, butterflyfish, angelfish, goatfish, monocle bream, the list is endless - were very mellow, not caring how close we got to them at all.

A unanimous decision on the boat took us to Blizzard Ridge for dive two. And it was the perfect choice. One group of divers got adopted by two olive sea snakes who followed them around for almost the entire dive, checking out each diver in turn then swimming alongside the group again. Lionfish were hanging a couple of feet off the sand and a pair of them floated just off a pretty bommie before snuggling back up on a ledge. The pipefish pair and our yellow anglerfish are still around and photo friendly and little ghost shrimp danced back in crevices. Too much to talk about today - you should come see for yourself!
