Mon 1st August 2011 - Thu 4th August 2011

The weather was a tad blowie this week making for some choppy surface conditions, but underwater we had some of the best visibility we had seen all year. It's amazing how some unreal visibility can make an ordinary dive extraordinary. It was hard to miss the abundance of wildlife down there, and the variety. We saw 1m+ sea snakes that were very curious coming right up to the divers. There were many photos taken of nudibranchs, flatworms, eels, scorpion fish and many crustaceans. There were a few hump headed parrotfish grazing around, along with some sharks cruising the coral filled walls. This trip we managed to do a few drift dives that everyone enjoyed along with some dives with neat swim throughs, crevices and caves. The huge school of barracuda on Two Towers was amazing but I think for some the highlight of this dive was seeing 1 Dwarf Minke Whale gracefully swimming around the divers before it headed into the deep abyss. The cod feed was picturesque with such clear visibility and was very visible for the snorkelers above to enjoy as well. The clear waters and plethora of wildlife encountered made the trip unreal. After a busy few days of diving it was time to relax in Australian tradition, a few beers and BBQ. Some even enjoyed the taste of skippy ;)
Cheers for a great trip,
Chris Haslam (Trip Director)
