Exmouth Diving Centre report - Lighthouse Bay Tuesday 22 March 2011

Another beautiful day here on Ningaloo Reef and we headed for Lighthouse Bay. We decided to check out Razor's as we haven't dived it since the cyclones have come through and wanted to see how the sea fans have held up. Not well. Most of them are only a fraction of their size pre-cyclones, which is sad, but it will be interesting to see how quickly they grow back. There were still plenty of fish - parrotfish, honeycomb cod, goatfish, anthias, surgeonfish, angelfish, butterflyfish, trevally, squirrelfish and lots more! Eels, small crabs, shrimps and tiny nudibranchs were tucked in every nook. The best sighting on this dive was a beautiful tawny nurse shark swimming past us!
