Exmouth Diving Centre report - Muiron Islands Thursday 31 March 2011

Out to the Muiron Islands for a special Thursday trip and we saw tons! Cod Spot was showing off masses of baitfish, tiny eels, wobbegong sharks, tuskfish, emperor angelfish, rankin cod, white tip reef sharks, honeycomb cods and lots of small parrotfish. This site was very active with feeding, cleaning and territorial displays today - so much to watch!

Whalebone also had lots of action and even more densely packed fish life. Schools of convict surgeonfish, five lined sea perch, trevally and sea pike. Huge 6 banded angelfish and green parrotfish. Tiny colourful nudibranchs. A good-sized roughback ray partially buried in the sand. Goatfish, snapper, damsels, anthias, wrasses...fish, fish and more fish!
