Exmouth Diving report - Muiron Islands Thursday 30 December 2010

We love the Muiron Islands so much we had to head out again! We went to Whalebone first and it was fabulous again, but the visibility was quite a bit lower than yesterday. We still had more than enough to see: raccoon butterflyfish, honeycomb cod, reindeer wrasse, many spotted sweetlips, unicornfish, green turtles, moray eels, nudibranchs, batfish, black tipped rock cod, big estuary cod, Nor'West snapper...
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 4-5m
CURRENT: mild
SURGE: strong
DEPTH: 12m

As the swell was creating quite a lot of surge & the wind was giving us a bit of surface chop after the dive, we tucked around to East Side Bommies for dive two. It was a great choice as the water was much clearer than yesterday and the marine life was rocking! Sharks, rays, turtles, schools of convict surgeonfish, firefish, grouper, coral trout, Christmas tree worms, nudibranchs, barracuda, porcupinefish, pink anemonefish - so many fishes!
WATER TEMP: 28C
