19th May 2021- Hump Day At South Solitary Island

Calm conditions made for a quick trip out to South Solitary Island this morning aboard “2Wild”. With the small group of divers on board, Shark Gutters was decided for dive one.
Cruising the cave of Cleaner Station, the swim-thru at Shark Gutters, and around the Third Gutter, we saw plenty of marine life including, Black Cod, Green Turtles, Lionfish, a few Nudibranchs, and a Blotched Fantail Ray. The Sci Diver students saw a Spotted Eagle Ray too.
After morning tea, “2Wild” made its way round to Manta Arch for Dive Two. The Sci Divers counted 7 Grey Nurse Sharks there, but all the action was round the Back Gutter where we counted another 12 Grey Nurse Sharks. Along the way we also had a few Wobbegong Sharks moving around and Huge schools of Silver Trevally and Tarwhine.
Congratulations to Bonnie and Zoe on Completing there PADI Open Water Course. 🙂
