Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Monday 7 June 2010

We love Labyrinth! There were so many turtles again today that we lost count! Most of them were just chillin' on the reef, but a few were swimming in lazily paths to the surface and back or scoping out new nooks to squeeze into for more naps. Big batfish were getting a good scrub at almost all the cleaning stations, while various cod and snapper hung out, waiting their turns. Coral trout were doing not much of anything but watching the world go by. Nudibranchs, shrimps, crabs and teeny eels played hide & seek with us as we peered into holes & into coral branches. We could have stayed here forever there was so much to see.

Blizzard Ridge was hopping, too. Fish, fish, fish and more fish. Big & little, silver, green, purple, orange, blue, yellow, stripy, polka dots, individuals, pairs and big schools. It was a feast for the eyes today. Olive sea snakes were out and about, sticking their heads in every hole they swam past and coming up close to our fins to see what we were doing.
