17th May 2020 – Too rough for South Solitary- Great at Muttonbird.

With a SW wind blowing, conditions were not good for the Solitary Islands, but tucked away at Muttonbird Island, we had nice flat seas. With a little surface current, brought in by the wind, we found some upwelling and shelter from the southerly swell gave us clean water for this inshore site. Using the boat for some customers (due to increase in allowable numbers) and for an assissted shore dive we had a few certified divers enjoying a dive and some students conducting both their PADI Open Water Scuba Diver course and PADI Advanced Open Water course.
Heaps of marine life about, with the certified Divers finding lots of Nudibranchs along with Wobbegong Sharks, Painted Lobsters, Octopus, Blue Grouper,  whilst schools of  Scads and Bullseyes hovered over the rocky bottom. Also spotted were four Eagle Rays like todays pics.
Congratulations to Liam on completing his Padi Open Water Dive Course, and Christian and Mia for completeing their PADI Advanced Open Water.
Vis 8/10 Metres.
