Perth to Ningaloo Reef

Another early start for the 2 hour drive down to Coral Bay for our next adventure. We began with a snorkel over the reef and the highlight was observing a large 'cleaning station' where all types of marine life congregate to have small Cleaner Wrasse fish eat parasites and dead tissue off larger fishes' skin. A beautiful green sea turtle was on the ocean floor and a grey reef shark cruised through to have its mouth cleaned by smaller fish. We then moved on to look for Manta Rays and we had a couple of fantastic dives where we had a fantastic chance to get up close to these graceful creatures gliding through the clear waters. The excitement continued back on the boat when we spotted a Dugong (fascinating creatures that feed on sea grasses) and then a couple of Tiger Sharks. Rudi was able to do a quick dive with one of them which he found exhilarating.... Lara lounged up on the fly deck in the sun watching the show from above! We returned to the reef for another snorkel through a maze of coral including the vibrant blue tip stag coral and were once again amazed by the diverse and spectacular marine life. It was another truly memorable day with an incredible crew.Leggi altro
