23rd April 2018-Manta Monday at South Solitary Island

Yes..it is True! Just for Deb on her day out diving, a Manta Ray turned up at the end of dive 1 at Shark Gutters and circled the divers, much to their delight! Even the students on the mooring line doing their safety stop had a birds eye view of the lovely Manta.
Apart from the Manta Ray, we saw Turtles and Lionfish, Nudibranchs and more Nudi’s and Heaps of fish littering the Boulder Wall. A top pair of dives considering the conditions above were less than ideal. A bumpy trip home, but well worth the effort to get out and dive.
Visibility was a lovely 20 mtrs at the start and dropped a bit on dive 2, but still great. Water temp ranged from 24 to 23c
