5th July 2015 – Barney putting on a show for divers!!
Another magnificent day out at South Solitary Island with good visibility, flat water and lots of Grey Nurse Sharks.
Every one got in at Manta Arch for dive one where roughly 50 Grey Nurse Sharks were stacked like pancakes from 18m down to 30m, also the big school of Silver Travelly in and around the Arch made for some great underwater photos.
The Sun was beaming down during the surface interval trying to warm up some cold bodies on the boat. Dive two was a drift from Cleaner Station to South Boulder, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the drift, some of the life seen was Grey Nurse Sharks, Huge Black Cod in Shark Gutters, no sign of the Giant Cuttle Fish but still plenty of life on Boulder Wall and everyone had a ball!!
Highlight of the day was watching Barney our Logger Head Turtle having a good old feast on what we think was a shell of some sort? what ever it was she was having a blast!!
