2nd January 2025 – Clear Water and Grey Nurse Galore

The first dive of 2025 started with a cracker!!
Dive one was at Buchanans Wall, this dive was beautiful as we could clearly see the Wall from the surface. We had a few large Turtles, Eastern Blue Groupers, Lionfish, Moray Eels and some amazing Nudibranchs.
Dive two had half the boat do Manta Arch to The Ganrty and the other half do Shark Gutters to The Gantry. The back Gutter had 10-12 Grey Nurse Sharks, Nudibranchs through the gap and Turtles everywhere near The Gantry.
The drift dive was very relaxing and and some points felt like we were flying above the bottom. There were big schools of Bullseyes, and Tarwhine, Painted Crayfish and 3-5 Blue Spotted Stingrays.

Visibility 25-30m
Temp 24-25C
