Gorgeous day to be out on the ocean!
Labyrinth greeted us with green turtles everywhere! This has been a very good year for turtles, it seems, and we've got every size imagineable. Batfish, cleaning stations, hunting coral trout, tuskfish digging in the sand, blue spotted sting rays, tiny mantis shrimp, octopus and a big, fat cowtail ray were just the tip of the iceberg on all we saw today.

Blizzard Ridge had more consistent visibility and excellent creatures. Wobbegong sharks, lionfish, anemonefish, olive sea snakes, trevally, barracuda, snapper, more octopus, nudibranchs, banded cleaner shrimp and lots of rankin cod. In one of the crevices four enormous estuary cod hunkered down, their eyes rolling up to keep an eye on us as we cruised overhead. Great dive!
