13th June 2021 – Snorkel and Dive Delight
Once again we were welcomed this morning with lovely conditions as we took “2 Wild” out to South Solitary Island. We had a mix of certified and student divers in addition to snorkelers who were all keen for what South Solitary has to offer.
First up we had divers and snorkelers rolling in at Shark Gutters, where they were greeted by warmer blue water, along with a few Grey Nurse Sharks, Eagle Rays, countless Wobbegong Sharks, friendly Blue Grouper’s, and constant fish life throughout the dive.
We decided to do a drift from Shark Gutters to The Gantry for the second dive and snorkel, with a nice current allowing all to explore the majority of the western side of the island. Highlights from this dive include loads of Green Sea and Hawksbill Turtles, large Black Cod, Wobbegong Sharks, cool colourful Nudibranchs, and an abundance of fish life including Fusiler’s, Stripey’s, along with Blue Tang’s and Anemone Fish. Some divers were even lucky enough to listen to Humpback Whales singing throughout the dive.
Also Congratulations to Trish who finished off her PADI Open Water Course today.
