Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Saturday 15 May 2010

Rough start on the way to the dive sites, but the day improved the longer we were out and the dives were crazy active! We started at Blizzard Ridge...actually we started by driving past an enormous whale shark on the way to Blizzard Ridge...and the site was rockin'. Honeycomb cod, rankin cod, coral trout, trevally, mackerel, barracuda patrolled mid water. Three different kinds of moray eels, including a black and white blotched one, waved in the slight current. Flatworms, nudibranchs, shrimps, hermit crabs. And DOLPHINS! Two dolphins came up behind a group of divers to check them out, flashed a smile and then effortlessly zoomed off.

Labyrinth had a lot to live up to and it did so without breaking a sweat. Multiple turtles, white tip reef sharks, huge batfish, active cleaning stations, anemonefish darting in and out of their anemones, octopus showing off, scorpionfish blending in to the reef, schools of convict surgeons and parrotfish and snapper. MORE DOLPHINS! Seeing dolphins underwater is just unbelievable and we had them on both dives!!
