Gulliver's was hopping with shark action today - white tip reefies everywhere we looked and wobbegongs trying to pretend they were rocks. Turtles - hawksbills and greens - were popping up on the surface, swimming alongside the divers and giving themselves a good scratch on the reef. A couple of turtles were snacking away on some of the (overly) abundant red bell jellyfish. Barracuda, trevally, 6 banded angelfish, pink anemonefish, batfish, hawkfish, neon damsels and tons of gobies were just some of the fishes we enjoyed. Super dive!

Blizzard Ridge was also full of good stuff. The giant moray eel made an appearance and swam along for about 30m before weaving his way through some gaps in the reef. The schools of glassfish and baitfish are starting to increase and there was some feeding action by a few predator fish. Looks like the Emperor Angelfish have been busy - there were heaps of psychedelic coloured juveniles flitted about as well as a few adults. Cutest juvenile firefish with the most delicate fringe on his fins. Mating nudibranchs. More wobbies, white tips and turtles plus all of the usual schools of perch, sea pike, bullseyes and clouds of anthias. We were all smiling ear to ear and talking over one another about the cool stuff we found on this dive!
