Exmouth Diving report -Muiron Islands 4 January 2011

We headed out to the Muiron Islands after a few days of pretty windy weather and tucked in to the east side of the southern island for our trip. We started out at Northeast Bommies and had fabulous fish life, but pretty low visibility. Lionfish, batfish, trevally, octopus, white tip reef sharks, sailfin catfish, moorish idols and bright green mantis shrimps. Our best find was a little guy we don't see very often on our sites at the Muirons - a frogfish! So cute with his big googly eyes and frilly bits.
