Swell, Baby, Swell. We got your swell! Wannabe Cyclone Sean brought us some honking swell but the weather is clear and the fish don't care!
The entire west side of the Muiron Islands (actually, pretty much the entire west coast) wasn't fit for diving so we tucked around to the East Side Bommies to begin our diving day. This site always has so much life on it and today was no exception. Lionfish, schools of convict surgeons, blue-spotted stingrays, reef sharks, turtles, parrotfish, school of drummers, nudibranchs, a good sized moray eel - we had a fabulous long dive!

We took the opportunity to explore a new dive site today. We weren't terribly original with the name - East Side Ridge - but the site is way more exciting than its name suggests! Lots of colourful soft corals, small sea fans and sponges provided a nice backdrop for angelfish, butterflyfish, damsels, anthias and other bright fish. Bigger fish like trevally, drummers, snapper, barracuda and rankin cod were abundant. It was a very cool dive site!
