Mon 4th July 2011 - Thu 7th July 2011

It was a little windy and overcast this trip but underwater it was excellent with visibility 20m+ and plenty of marine life to see. The main attraction was the Dwarf Minke Whales, which were seen on a number of dive sites. The divers captured some great photos as the whales twirled and glided pass the divers. A manta ray was seen at Two Towers along with turtles and olive sea snakes.

We had an awesome night dive with plenty to see, especially the macro organisms. We encountered hermit crabs with coral polyps growing on their shells, a dwarf lionfish, many banded shrimp, coral crabs, flatworms, a few nudibranchs including the heron ardeadoris and african chromodoris, and a very long worm sea cucumber.

During the last day the cod feed was definitely the highlight. The visibility was in the high 20's and many cod appeared for the feed. We saw the flowery and potato cod plus a Queensland grouper came in for a bite to eat too. There was cod of all sizes and all were getting involved, 7 in total. After the feed the cod swam all around the divers as we completed our safety stops.

After a big trip of diving it was time for an Aussie BBQ a few drinks and some great conversation.

Cheers for a great trip.
