15th january 2024- Maclean Highschool Completes OWC

Getting the last dive of the week in before the crazy weather arrives, Mega Wild packed up and shot out to South Solitary. With an uphill current running northbound, and the wind coming from the north, it made Buchanans Wall the perfect spot to dive on both dives. A Green Turtle and a Lionfish were nestled up together at the bottom of the mooring, saying hello to all divers dropping in! Buchanans is great for looking at the small critters. To start, a Mimic File Fish and Saddled puffer were spotted. The Wall was full of different species of shrimp, ranging from Coral Banded, Popcorn, Glass, Peppermint, and Ambon Cleaner Shrimp! Masses of schooling fish were still lingering around, stretching all the way from Buchanans Wall down to the Cable Trail. A large Eagle Ray without a tail was a highlight of todays dive for everyone, along with the massive wobbegongs!

Congratulations to out SIX new open water divers! Sean, Ellis, Kayan, Brett, Theo, and Lylia!
