9th November 2020 – Magic Monday
Today we made the trip out to South Solitary Island, as sea conditions improved, and that nice warm blue water was still evident.
For the first dive, we had divers jump in at Cleaner Station, where we had them explore the top end of the island. During the dive, we saw large Black Cod, Green Sea Turtles, Blue Groupers, Bull Rays, Lionfish, Mantis Shrimp and large schooling fish of Fusilers, and Stripey’s throughout the dive.
For the second dive, divers did a live drop at the Back Gutter, and made there way through the Gap, and ended up at South Boulder. The back gutter did not disappoint, as we had approximately 20+ friendly Grey Nurse Sharks all hanging around for us to see. Additionally, divers saw Wobbegongs, more Green Sea Turtles, Nudibranchs, Moray Eels, Lionfish, and even an octopus at South Boulder Mooring.

Visibility: 25m
