Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Monday 17 May 2010

Windy and choppy on the surface today so we were really looking forward to being underwater! We started at Lassiter's and were treated to cruising reef sharks, snoozing wobbegongs, blue spotted rays, a big roughback stingray, parrotfish, moorish idols, a collection of nudibranchs and a pair of harlequin shrimp - one shining pink and one glowing purple. Highly active dive!
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: moderate
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 12m

Dive two was at Blizzard Ridge and all of the schooling fish - threadfin pearl perch, fusiliers, trevally - looked like they had double the usual membership. An enormous bull ray ignored us and white tip reef sharks buzzed up and down the ridge. Our resident giant moray eel was having a spa day with multiple clear cleaner shrimp & cleaner wrasses attending to him.
