Awww, I am jealous of the sea horses and sea dragons, i have to admit!

Got out for one more dive on Sunday to the same spot as Friday. It was just as good but a lot different. So many schooling fish and juvenile everythings were everywhere...it looked like the baby population had exploded.

And, oh yeah, I saw a dugong

Here's a little quickie collection from the dive


And just a little plug - I've just posted a sneak peek at Exmouth Diving Centre's July blog contest. If you've ever thought about coming to the Ningaloo Reef, or have friends who you'd pass a prize to, you might want to subscribe or follow coz this is gonna be a big one! Contest starts on July 1st, but you gotta be in it to win it!

Apart from grey overcast skies the weather and tides were perfect for another long (90 minute) dive on Bundegi Reef inside Exmouth Gulf on Sunday. The water had warmed up from 21°C on Friday to a toasty 21.5°C, the visibility was good and there was no current worth worrying about. Here's a few shots from the dive:

If there's no picture you didn't see one! Those dugong type whistling noises I heard on the dive were probably just air escaping from that hole in your inflator hose.
