Exmouth Diving report - West Side full day Sunday 13 June 2010

Northerly winds and a lot of slop at the top of the Cape made our choice of destination for our full day tour easy - we headed off the West Side where conditions were much nicer!

We started at Three Fins and though it was a little choppy on the surface, underwater was gorgeous! Honeycomb cod relaxed on the coral while schools of surgeonfish rolled over the site, flashing their orange spots & razor sharp white scalpels. A 6+ foot white tip reef shark cruised inches off the sand in a big circular route around the reef. Neon blue damsels, hot pink anthias and green parrotfish spiced things up with spots of colour and a sleek school of silver barracuda hung out in mid-water. Very nice dive.
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 19m

We headed back north a bit so we could dive Central Station and it was again covered in fish life, just like Friday. Turtles, white tip reef sharks, a small black tip reef shark, big school of stripey pufferfish, anemonefish, fat rankin cod and tons of stingrays making a mess in the sand searching for treats. Another great dive!

The humpbacks weren't as LOOK AT ME today like they were Friday with all their breaching, but there were quite a few pairs or trios cruising along the reef, blowing big sprays into the air as they continued their northerly migration. Very enjoyable day to be out and about.
