31st January 2024- Last Dive of the year!

We had one last big day of the year and celebrated by sending out both SoWild and MegaWild to South Solitary Island for a double dive! With a mixed boat of both snorkelers and divers, it’s safe to say everyone enjoyed their time in blue and warm water!

Dive one saw divers jump in at Manta Arch and swim throuh the Gap to finish at the Gantry. There were around 30 + Grey Nurse Sharks in the Back Gutter and a few swimming though the arch. Our highlight of this dive was seeing a massive Leopard Shark in the sandy patch at the bottom of the mooring! With massive currents running through the island, we believe this is what brought it and hopefully some more arrive soon!

The second dive was a drift from the top end at Shark Gutters down to The Gantry. Two massive Eagle Rays were spotted along the wall, although both skittish. Barred Mackerel, Ambon and Peppermint Shrimp, Nudibranchs, a few Yellow Box Fish, looooooads and loads of Green Turtles, and some cray were amongst some of the other highlights!

Happy New Years from all of us !!! We wish you all a great new year

Water temp was 25°C and the vis was 30 metres!
