Manta Club dive at Point Peron
Manta Club dive at Point Peron (Rockingham) – nice caverns and plenty of visibility
Sunday 28 May 2023
The swells and strong winds gave us a long pause recently, and we had perfect sunny conditions at many coastal locations, and at Point Peron, it all looked really good today, with a very slow N-NE winds overnight. After our barbeque, we headed there to see near-flat water surface and the visibility was at least 10-15 meters. The main attraction there was (as usual) a tricky possibility of finding some excellent caverns filled with teams of large fish of several species. Many have been in there, but some of us only find these caves on good visibility days. We found some caverns, adding to each diver's number of caverns visited there (few really know how many in total are even there). An octopus of large proportions was witnessed by myself, raising questions whether it could emit enough “ink” to hide. Also, schools of quite small tevallies as well as groups of rather large Samsonfish were spotted near caverns. We had a great dive, in water still being warm at 18C.
The Manta Club crew (eleven of us attending the Club dive today, including some new divers) enjoyed this spectacular diving spot at all available depths ranging from a few meters to about 8-9m just outside the reef line, after a good swim in the NW direction.
Thanks everyone for coming to this Manta Club dive! See you on next dives soon!
