Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Tuesday 13 April 2010

Fantastic diving on the Ningaloo Reef today! We started at Labyrinth and it was turtle mania again. One group of divers had nine different green turtles and another group had seven - no one saw fewer than five. Gotta love that! Coral trout are hammering the small schools of fish and huge batfish are lounging at the cleaning stations. Smaller batfish with brilliant yellow markings are hanging out to keep us company on the safety stop. All of the usual fish, nudibranchs, sharks, eels and shrimps were great, too.
WATER TEMP: 24C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: very slight
SURGE: very slight
DEPTH: 14m

Blizzard Ridge is outdoing normally awesome self lately - more baitfish, more predators, more varieties of nudibranchs, more friendly olive sea snakes, more massive estuary cods, more cleaning station action. There's so much going on here that more than half of our divers signed on for another trip later this week so they could do it again!!
