22nd April 2021 – Three Island Thursday!
With the weather being suitable, we took 2 Wild out to North Solitary with a boat load of divers, and Wildfin cruised out to South Solitary and Split Solitary with marine students from Jetty High for a snorkel trip. Divers at North Solitary dived Anemone Bay first up, where as promised saw tonnes of Anemone Fish, Blue Tangs, a Hawksbill Turtle and an Eagle Ray.
For the second dive they explored Elbow Cave, where they saw an Octopus, heaps of cool Nudibranchs, tonnes of Mantis Shrimp, Blue Groupers, and more Blue Tangs and Anemone fish.
As for the snorkelers at South Solitary and Split Solitary, they saw an Eagle Ray, Wobbegong Sharks, along with loads of fish life including Blue Groupers, Blue Tangs, Stripey’s, Fusilers, and large school of Tarwhine.
