9th August 2020 – Nice enough for a Gap swim at South Solitary
Conditions improved overnight and with a bit of sunshine, everything looked good for today’s dives!
Dive 1 was back at Manta Arch, but without the depth! Checking out the sharks around the mooring, the divers moved to the back gutter to find even more sharks, as well as a surprise fever of Cow Rays. Continuing through the gap, visibility improved further and all our divers had a very pleasant dive with some turtles hanging about.
Dive 2 gave the divers a sweep across the top side of South Solitary Island, heading from Cleaner Station to South Boulder Wall. Again they had a taste of everything – but today brought out the turtles again, as another highlight.
Today’s image is a file picture of our Cow Rays, as we didn’t have any images given to us from our divers today!
