Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Tuesday 8 June 2010

Blizzard Ridge started us off with feisty rankin cod circling each other and zooming through small schools of baitfish. White tip reef sharks were swimming slowly along the top of the ledge and several big roughback rays had snuggled right down in the sand on the lower edge. Colorful nudibranchs were everywhere including a couple of mating pairs. All of our usual schools - threadfin pearl perch, cardinalfish, snapper - were bunched up close together in the centre of the site and the anemonefish tucked in the hole were really active, swimming a good distance away from their host anemone. It seemed like every fish was on a mission today - lots of activity!

Gulliver's was awesomely beautiful blue today! We could see for miles underwater. Turtles, lots of white tip reef sharks, combined schools of sweetlips & snapper, butterflyfish and huge angelfish kept us eager to see more. The cleaning stations were super busy with rankin cod, estuary cod and many spotted sweetlips lined up and ready for the cleaner wrasse to dart in and go to work.
