Exmouth Diving report - Muiron Islands Sunday 9 January 2011

Woohooo! We love the Muiron Islands! Cod Spot was our first dive site and we were greeted by a fantastic variety of cods and other fishes: flowery cod, estuary cod, rankin cod & black tipped rock cod, emperor angelfish, 6 banded angelfish, butterflyfish, sea pike, moray eels, many spotted sweetlips, baitfish, parrotfish and Nor'West Snapper. We also found the gray reef sharks again - they are so awesome!!
WATER TEMP: 29C
VISIBILITY: 5m
CURRENT: mild
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 17m

North East Bommies had a bit lower visibility but again, the marine life put a smile on everyone's face! White tip reef sharks, lionfish, Christmas Tree Worms, barracuda, trevally, convict surgeonfish, unicornfish, nudibranchs, Stars & Stripes Pufferfish, batfish and more! We saw an outstanding amount of stuff tucked in every hole and under every ledge - less visibility helps us really slow down and explore each inch more closely.
