Two boats steamed out to South Solitary Island this morning, “2 wild” had research divers on and  “wildfin” had a mixture of certified divers and student divers. Dive one was at the northern end of the island. All divers dropped in at Shark Gutters, and were greeted with at least 25 metres of visibility, four Grey nurse sharks were spotted, Lionfish, Black Cod, Wobbegong Sharks, and a Hawksbill Turtle.
