Exmouth Diving Centre report - Lighthouse Bay Sunday 27 March 2011

Oh what a glorious Sunday! Gulliver's was first up and we were greeted by a trio of mackerel darting back and forth as soon as we put our heads underwater. The white tip reef sharks were being cheeky: allowing us to creep up close then flicking themselves forward a few feet causing a big sand storm between us. A huge loggerhead turtle kept pace for a while before heading off into the distance. Schools of five lined sea perch, goatfish and bulleyes; many spotted sweetlips & rankin cods at the cleaning stations; crazy shrimp & bouncing anemonefish; moray eels; blue spotted rays; semi-circular angelfish and stacks more. Fabulous dive that we didn't want to end!

The water when we pulled up to Blizzard Ridge was insanely blue. When we dropped over we discovered it was filled with tons of floaties (all food for the fishies!) but the blueness went on forever. Masses of glass & baitfish, a big roughback ray in the sand, wobbegong sharks under ledges, white tip reef sharks patrolling, olive sea snakes getting frisky with each other and us, nudibranchs, octopus, more cleaner shrimp action and clouds of bright pink anthias. A++ dive!
