Exmouth Diving report - Muiron Islands Sunday 28 November, 2010

An unusual day for us here in Exmouth - we had overcast skies almost all day! A few drops of rain and a bit of humidity, too. But overall it was lovely with fairly calm seas and lots of marine life. It also didn't get nearly as hot as it could have!

We started at Keyhole and were treated to tons of fish over the whole site from the moment we put our heads under. Painted sweetlips, emperor angelfish, white tip reef sharks, blue spotted stingrays, surgeonfish, lots of big parrotfish, moorish idols, barracuda...great dive!
WATER TEMP: 25C
VISIBILITY: 10m & a little cloudy
CURRENT: none
SURGE: moderate
DEPTH: 11m

The west side of the Island was getting a little choppy, so we cruised to the other side for nicer surface conditions. North East Bommies was awesome again today! Huge painted crays, cleaner shrimps everywhere, cute porcupinefish, a big green turtle, more white tip reef sharks, several different nudibranchs, moray eels, anemonefish, lots of butterflyfish and more!
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 12m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 11m

We enjoyed lunch and a big snorkel at East Side Bommies. Lionfish, trevally, sea pike, turtles, rays, damsels, convict surgeons, blue-green chromis, Christmas tree worms, sailfin catfish - tons to see!
