Exmouth Diving report - Muiron Islands Sunday 4 April 2010

Happy Easter! We spent the day out at the Muiron Islands for some diving & snorkelling.

Cod Spot was first up and really lived up to its namesake with cod, cod, everywhere cod: potato, rankin, coral, honeycomb - they were all there in numbers. We had the cutest trio of little batfish weaving through midwater and then skittering off to the surface. A big wobbegong shark was tucked at the back of a nice overhang, his frilly face blending in so well it was hard to see where he stopped and the reef began!

Whalebone was teeming with fishes of every size, shape and colour today. And the soft & leather corals were showing off their neon colours even though the visibility was a bit lower than usual. White tip reef sharks swam along the bottom edges and a couple of turtles poked around at the top of the walls. Just a beautiful dive with too much to see again today.
