6th September 2020 – Rough on top, but great underneath.
With some seasoned divers from Dive Centre Manly onboard, we ventured out, knowing it will be a bit of a rough ride getting there. We sheltered from the conditions on the northern end of South Solitary and the divers enjoyed the diverse range of fish life that we have to offer. They were surprised to find the amount of coral we have and different fish to their home turf in Sydney. The sites were from Cleaner Station to South Boulder Wall.
Although we only saw a few Grey Nurse, they mixed it with the schools of fish we have along with some unusual fish like a larger Yellow Boxfish, a few of our Big Black Cod, our resident “Barney”, the loggerhead turtle, more turtles on these are Green Turtles, Eagle Rays and also a glimpse of Cow Rays and a Whaler shark.
No one was worried about the conditions, possibly because the dives were so enjoyable.
Visibility better than yesterday at 15-20 mtrs Temp 18.5c
