Day 1: Pixie Gardens was a perfect choice to relax back into diving. A nice easy dive with minimal current meant the punters were able to enjoy reef sharks, turtles, barracuda, schooling bait fish and a lot of macro including nudies, darts, antheas, and more.

Day 2: Around The Bend always produces. This time around half a dozen grey reef sharks, 4 or 5 white tips and a very inquisitive dogtooth tuna which circled very close to some of the divers. A small school of chevron barracuda stirred underneath the boat which kept divers entertained on their deco stop. The shark feed was another epic display of teeth! Two oceanic silver tips decided to join the foray and put on a great show by buzzing the crowd a few times. Admiralty was amazing! The swim-throughs always impressive, the healthy coral, the abundance of fish life, and to top it off, another majestic manta  Admiralty at night was just amazing. The bump-head parrot were everywhere! The glow fish kept the divers entertained as we swam through large caves. 3 octopus were a highlight for some.

Day 3: The Eastern wall of North Horn was filled with large oceanic marine life. Masses of grey whalers, white tip reefies and yet another manta.The second dive at North Horn on the magnificent soft coral wall was breathtaking. With the visibility around 45 meters guests could enjoy the beautiful coral and then look out to the many schooling trevally or grey reef sharks. A lone silver tip kept eyes wide open. Secret Caves was a leisurely ‘stroll in the park' with excellent vis and a lot of macro to keep divers happy. Especially a juvenile leafy scorpion, the second for the week. The vis at False Entrance made for an epic final Osprey dive. Lots of white tip shark action and heaps of pristine coral.

Day 4: Steve's Bommie is always epic. As a crew favourite we were all eager to get in the warm water. Awesome macro. Lion fish, stone fish, nudies, flatworms, mantis shrimp, pipe fish, glass shrimp, chromis, anthias, just amazing! Joanies Joy was a great relaxing wind down dive. Lots of the usual suspects kept the crowd happy. Flare Point was a great end to the day with the big highlight being a very friendly leopard shark.
