31st August 2024 – Sealy Saturday

With our boat load of divers keen to escape the heat we headed out to South Solitary this morning for a double dive! Once we arrived at South Solitary today we were surprised by a big Fur Seal sunbaking up on South Solitary Island!

For the first dive we dropped in at Manta Arch. This dive was filled with schooling fishlife, plenty of nudibranches, and a few turtles.

The second dive was action packed with a drift from Shark Gutters to The Gantry. In the swim through divers saw plenty of Grey Nurse Sharks, while other divers saw 8-10 Grey Nurses. They also saw loads of Green Sea Turtles as they cruised past boulder wall, and some big bull rays!
