7th October 2016 – Hammerheads, Cow Nose Rays & so much more!

South Solitary Island put it on again today with more unusual sightings. First Dive was at Manta Arch and Cleaner Station, with a few Grey Nurse sharks at both. The first unusual sight was very close encounter with the large Fever (school) of Cow-nose rays at Manta Arch!
Another unusual sight was a lone Hammerhead Shark mid-water at Cleaner Station. Then we had all the regular schools of Tarwhine, Trevally and Mado’s especially in the gutters of the Island. On dive two, whilst the open areas were quiet, the rocky Boulder Wall was hiding all the schools and schools of fish. All of the dive, you could hear the sounds of Whales singing.
An odd site was captured it this picture, with a friendly Blue Grouper giving a Lionfish a hard time.
Visibility 10-15 metres Water temp 19c
