Exmouth Diving report - Muiron Islands Sunday 27 June 2010

A cool morning couldn't put a damper on such a fabulous day out to the Muiron Islands! We started at Cod Spot and it was teeming with fish. Three wobbegong sharks were hanging out on a single bommie while curtains of baitfish fluttered above them. Rankin cod, snapper, many spotted sweetlips, barracuda, parrotfish, surgeonfish and a couple of estuary cod led the numbers game in the mid to large fish category. Zillions of damsels and anthias brought tiny splashes of colour against the reef. We even had a swimming wobbegong shark!

Dive two took us to Whalebone and on top of all the beautiful bright coloured corals, sparkly reef fish and nudibranchs we had a big roughback ray, a whiptail ray and a shovelnose ray! Turtles and small reef sharks showed up, too. A school of BIG barracuda cruised around us. And a manta ray! Yipppee!
