Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Saturday 6 November 2010

FANTASTIC diving today! We started at Labyrinth and it was just truly amazing. Where to start? Manta ray? Check! Group of TEN white tip reef sharks hanging out together? Check! Turtles on every ledge and swimming alongside us? Check! Huge wobbegong shark smiling out from under his ledge? Check! Tiniest mantis shrimp ever? Check! Batfish, cleaning stations, coral trout, scorpionfish, nudibranchs of every hue, olive sea snakes, blue spotted rays... Check!

Blizzard Ridge had a lot to live up to after such an incredible first dive. Happily it seemed every fish for a mile was hanging out for our viewing pleasure: rankin cod, coral cod, black-tipped rockcod, octopus, banded pipefish, estuary cod, firefish, fusiliers being cleaned...and a Queensland Groper!! Better than all those things (in this author's humble opinion) a new anglerfish (aka frogfish)! Woohoo - we adore our anglerfish!
