Manta Club dive at Jervoise Bay
Manta Club dive at Jervoise Bay – great visibility on an autumn day, the water is still quite warm
Sunday 21 May 2023
This Sunday morning was great for diving, and the weather was enjoyed by all 12 of our divers on the Club Dive list today. The water conditions were nice, at 18 C without a ripple. The visibility in the water was between 10-15 meters or so, depending on the section of the dive site. The shallow part of dive site offered swimming-pool-like visibility. We were surrounded by schools of small stripey fishes, few talmas, plenty of morwong, and many colourful soft corals we seen also, including multiple small-sized Brain corals that can escape detection at less visibility than what we had today. Among the more noteable soft corals were translucent Dendronyphtias near the end of groyne, at near 11m. Some divers saw more than me; results may follow from our all-seasons hardened dive crew soon. We heards reports of sighting what looked like “black squid”; possibly that wa sa cuttlefish lookalike.
Divers of many various experience levels were present, and everybody said they enjoyed exploring this not-so-ordinary dive site. Several new Manta Club divers joined our crew today, and hopefully seen some things of interest in the water. Thanks everyone for coming to this Manta Club dive! See you on next dives soon.
