21st December 2021 – Sensational Split Splash!

Despite some sub-optimal surface conditions Mega Wild headed off to South Solitary… and then halfway there we changed our minds and went to Split Solitary for some solid diving instead!
The impromptu island swap worked out well, with a much more sheltered dive site with surprisingly good visibility! first up our divers dropped in at Turtle Cove for a wee bit of a look around, after descending through the dirty top layer the visibility opened up to reveal many Banded Coral Shrimp, Popcorn Shrimp, Nudibranchs, a little Octopus, a big Bull Ray and a pair of juvenile Grey Nurse Sharks were seen.
After the surface interval we rolled in at Mike’s Mooring where our divers saw more Nudibranchs, some Painted Crays, Coral Rockcod, Spotted Rays, a Hawksbill Turtle, and a Crested Horn Shark.
Congratulations to Linda on completing her Advanced Open Water dives, as well as Clancy & Elsie on completing their PADI Open Water Diver Course.
Visibility: 6-15m
Water Temperature 19-22°
