Exmouth Diving report - Muiron Islands Tuesday 16 November 2010

We had such a great trip on Sunday that we decided to head out a day earlier than usual again! We started at Keyhole and had just tons of fish life. Trevally, barracuda, drummers, surgeonfish, parrotfish and rankin cods. White tip reef sharks, turtles, moray eels, cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs. We always love this site, but today it seemed to be extra active!
WATER TEMP: 25C
VISIBILITY: 10-12m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 14m

Whalebone had a lot to live up to and we weren't disappointed. There were some great curtains of baitfish, tons of bright pink & purple anthias, more butterflyfish and angelfish than we could keep track of and our dear little reindeer wrasse was flitting happily along the sand. Another couple of green turtles and a white tip reef shark circling then crash landing on the sand for a bit of a snooze. Some rankin cods that were even bigger than those on dive one and bright orange coral cods lined the ledges in the swim thrus.
WATER TEMP: 25C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 12m

We popped around to East Side Bommies for some more snorkeling and the water was super blue! It really made the colours of the corals, sponges and fish jump out. Absolutely stacks to see here today: barramundi cod, lionfish, blue spotted sting rays, sea pike, neon damsels, trumpetfish...
