Diving on the Great Barrier Reef and at
the Yongala doesn't get much better than what we've had
over the last 3 days. Our first day was spent at the
world class Wheeler Reef. the morning was spent at
Student Bommie, with turtles, sharks and barracuda
cruising in amongst the pristine hard coral and lagoon
rays feeding in the beautiful white sand. The it was off
to the Garden of Eden, another site on Wheeler Reef
which is just covered in bait fish - millions of them!
The Amphitheatre was discovered by the terrible trio of
Mike, Vic and Jen - a swim through opening up into a
cavern thick with life; sponges, corals and bait fish.
And who could not forget about 'Raysville', an area
where 25+ mobula cruised, flying in loose formation
around the divers again and again, silhouetted by the
setting sun. There's not many sites that could surpass
our 1st days diving - the SS Yongala being one of the
very few! We spent a day and a half diving this
spectacular site and with manta rays, eagle rays, bull
sharks, guitar fish, huge Maori wrasse and 2m long
Queensland grouper, not to mention the resident turtles
and sea snakes, all spotted... this site lived up to
it's reputation as the #1 site in Australia. |
