11th December 2019 – Wobbegong Wednesday!
11th December 2019
Today, 11th December 2019, we headed out with a full boat to South Solitary Islands for our dive trip.
Dive one was at Shark Gutters, which once again lived entirely up to its name. There was heaps of Grey Nurse Sharks, Wobbegongs, and even an Octopus. Some Blue Tangs, some Red Rock Cod Fish (Scorpion Fish), some Great Barrier Reef Anenome Fish, and a bunch of Nudibranchs.
For our second dive, we dived from Shark Gutters to South Boulder. There were a heap of fish on this dive – more Red Rock Cod Fish (Scorpion Fish), a Moon Wrasse, Black Cod, King fish, Blue Groupers, and some red morwongs lazing about. We saw a sleepy Green Sea Turtle underneath a rock, heaps more Wobbegongs, and plenty more sharks – at least 6 Grey Nurse Sharks in one spot towards the end. There was even more Nudibranchs on this dive, with some in our dive photo for the day – Can you spot them? Picture was taken by Deb!
