Exmouth Diving report - West Side full day Wednesday 28 July 2010

We headed out off the West Side of the Nor'west Cape today for a couple of dives and some reef cruising. Central Station was our first stop and it was a little dirty, but filled with fish, eels, turtles, manta rays, sting rays, reef sharks and even a cuttlefish!
WATER TEMP: 24C
VISIBILITY: 5-7m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 17m

For the second dive we headed a little further south in search of some cleaner water and Nick's Lumps was perfect. We saw the smallest white tip reef shark ever - he was the same size as the remoras on the bigger white tips! Green turtles, egg cowries, tomato rockcod, barracuda, schools of trevally, schools of convict surgeons, blue spotted sting rays and tons of colourful reef fish all hung out for our viewing pleasure in the brilliant blue water.

There were also lots of humpback whales everywhere we looked! Wonderful day!
