29th September 2021- “Breaching Whales At Split Solitary Island”.
Knowing that the wind was going to pick up early this morning, “2 Wild” headed out to Split Solitary Island with a small group of certified divers and students. Conditions were nice in the shelter of the island and visibility was very good for Split.
Dive one had all divers drop in on Turtle Cove Mooring. Amongst the marine life spotted on this dive were Wobbegong Sharks, Black Cod, Painted Crays, Bullseyes, and schooling Tarwhine.
After a nice cup of hot Soup, students and certified divers again dropped in on the same mooring exploring all the Gutters. This time, Turtles, Blue Grouper, Banded Coral shrimps, Nudibranchs and a Bull Ray were featured in the sightings during the dive.
To top off the underwater action, we had whales coming in close by, with a couple of breaches to add to the morning.
Vis 15 Metres.
Water temp 19 Degrees.
