Exmouth Diving report - Muiron Islands Wednesday 29 December 2010

Whalebone was hopping with lots of emperor angelfish including quite a few juveniles, big trevally buzzing the divers, white tip reef sharks circling on the sand, damsels & anthias in every hue and moorish idols zipping here and there. The swim throughs had just enough baitfish to add sparkle and big rankin cod patrolled the exits. We had a lovely dive!
WATER TEMP: 27C
VISIBILITY: 8m
CURRENT: mild-moderate
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 12m

The wind was forecast to come in pretty strong, so we trekked to the more sheltered east side of the Islands for dive two at North East Bommies. It was a little dirtier here, but the fish life was great. Lionfish, sailfin catfish, butterflyfish, wrasses, pufferfish, sea pike, moray eels, snapper and so much more!
WATER TEMP: 27C
VISIBILITY: 4-5m
CURRENT: mild
SURGE: mild

Happily, the wind didn't come in as expected so we had a lovely cruise back down Exmouth Gulf in the afternoon and were greeted by a small pod of dolphins at the mouth of the marina - perfect end to the day!
