Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Friday 30 April 2010

We mixed it up today and did Labyrinth first. Turtles and big batfish were everywhere from the first few minutes we were underwater to our safety stop! All of the cleaning stations were bustling and some of the bigger fish had three cleaner wrasse working at the same time. Lots of nudibranchs around and there were also small moray eels poking out of the reef everywhere we looked. More yellow butterflyfish than we could count today. Good amount of baitfish and a few rankin cod were doing their best to reduce those numbers!

Blizzard Ridge was solid baitfish in areas and big trevally, barracuda and snapper were cruising just above them. A big fat wobbegong shark was flopped halfway over a foot high outcrop and did not look comfortable at all, but he stayed there snoozing. Olive sea snakes were twisting around, looking under ledges and trying to shimmy into small holes. One decided he liked the divers more and swam for a few minutes going from diver to diver. Very active site today.
