16th August 2020 – Beautiful Sunday Dives!

Today we had a mix of certified divers and students head out to South Solitary Island.
For the first dive, our certified Divers headed from Manta Arch to Cleaner Station. Here they saw 20+ Grey Nurse Sharks! Our student Divers dived Cleaner Station with more sharks here too! They also spotted some black cod, a few Wobbegongs, Moray Eels, and some Lionfish.
Our divers took their short morning tea and surface interval, and during this saw a Whale – tail slapping about 400m away from the boat.
For the second dive, all of our divers headed into Shark Gutters, making their way down North Boulder Wall. They took a look at the Cave along with divinv Shark Gutters. More sharks were seen here, along with large schools of Tarwhine,  Bullseyes, Blue Fusiliers, and even some Batfish which is interesting for this water temperature!
Today’s Dive Pic is a old classic of Mike’s images of a Batfish!
Congratulations to Ben, Amy, and Charlotte for completing their PADI Open Water Diver Course today!
