7th June 2020 – Double Solitary

7th June 2020

Today, 7th June 2020, we had 2Wild head out to North Solitary Island, and Wild Fin take South Solitary for our Double Dive Trip.
For the first dive at North Solitary, our divers dropped into Anenomie Bay, seeing more than 8 Grey Nurse’s hanging about. The feature of anenomie bay is anenomies in huge quantities, so naturally many clownfish were seen on this dive! There were plenty of wobbegongs, nudibranches, and a moray eel hanging about among other fishlife. 5 Eagle Rays were spotted just before ending the dive, and a cruisy little turtle! At South Solitary, the divers took Manta Arch with about 15-2o Grey Nurses spotted upon descent. There were Moray Eels, Silver Trevalley, and some turtles!
On our second North Sol dive, we headed to Fish Soup, which was clouded by schools of fish. There were Old Wives, Pipefish, and heaps of Threespot dascyllus hanging around with the clownfish. There were heaps of Nudibranches on this dive, too. For South Solitary’s second dive they took Shark Gutters, spotting some Blue Fusiliers, Nudibranches, and some Tarwhine, and some Wobbegongs along with at least half a dozen Grey Nurses!
Both Boats saw whales on their trips out and back to the islands,  and today was our first day of Whale Watching!
