Exmouth Diving report - Lighthouse Bay Thursday 23 December 2010

The conditions are just getting better and we started at Blizzard Ridge for our first dive in Lighthouse Bay since the big rains. There were quite a few floaties in the water that kept visibility a little low but the fish were loving the extra food, darting & dashing in and out constantly. Wobbegong sharks, white tip reef sharks, estuary cod, threadfin pearl perch, rankin cod, lots of nudibranchs, bright yellow trumpetfish and lots of groups of baby sailfin catfish.
WATER TEMP: 27C
VISIBILITY: -86m
CURRENT: mild
SURGE: moderate
DEPTH: 12m

We headed over to Gulliver's for dive two and the cleaning stations were super busy with huge cod waiting patiently behind smaller snapper. We found a huge giant moray (is that redundant? LOL) and many smaller eels dotting the landscape. Batfish drifted sideways along the sand and a trio of them hung out with us on the safety stop. It was a dive filled with fish, fish and more fish!
