5th December 2024- Mid week break !

Mega Wild loaded up with a boat full of keen divers and shot out to South Solitary Island. After a big Northerly blow this past week, everyone was very keen to get in the water with the lull in the weather!

Dive one saw all certified divers jump in at Shark Gutters for a kick down to The Gantry, where they met the Open Water Students! Dive two was a unanimously agreed up and down at The Gantry. The visibility was down due to the recent winds, as well as the temperature. However this didn’t damper anyones keeness to see what South had in store for us!! Boulder one saw heaps of Bull Rays up and down the wall, as well as one Eagle Ray! Schooling fish was also seen, such as Tarwhine Bullseyes and more. A few Turtles were seen as divers approached the Gap, both Green and Hawksbills! Wobbegongs filled the space between five metre rock and the island – they were everywhere! Nudibranchs and Spanish Dancers were also seen around 5-metre rock! Nathan also spotted a Mantis Shrimp!!

Visibility: 5-10 metres

Temperature: 18-20°C
