The Ningaloo reef is one of the largest fringing coral reefs in the world stretching an incredible 260kms along the Western Australian coastline. It is home to a plethora of life including over 500 species of fish, 300 species of coral, 600 species of mollusks, along with many other marine invertebrates including different species of dolphins and whales.
The ex BHP Bulk Jetty turned out to be an amazing venue this Wednesday night and largely thanks to the swell predictions being complete bollox, again ! Being just one day after a full moon, the spring low tide created shallow knee to waist deep water nearly all the way out to the hanging-ladder.
Reports of jellyfish were featuring strongly in the weekend dive reports, but after canoeing in the river they were clearly everywhere, so the choice was simply which sea site with a strong southerly. Now, the North Mole is without doubt a great dive site in such instances, but I chose the Rockingham Wreck Trail without an intrepid rock clamber for a change and tempted participants with vinegar, and bugger me, 15 people turned up!
The Key Biscayne is now left in a state of no directional control and is rolling with the heavy seas and swell. Seawater rushing over the deck begins to fill the aft section through the shale shaker return line and soon floods the mud pits and pump room.
The first club dive of 2020 and after a gourmet bbq breakfast, 23 Club Divers descended on the Point this Sunday morning to the sight of great conditions and only the smallest of breakers. After an easy snorkel out to the Northern end of the farthest reef, we dropped 8m in 23oC to a sandy seabed and then joined the reef wall following it on our left shoulder.
