Planula Bed and Breakfast Retreat, Byron Bay

More Grey Nurse Shark action. The regulars were around too: large Loggerhead Turtles, Blue Gropers, Jewfish, Bream, stripeys, wobbegong lazying on the bottom, Sombre Sweetlips and goatfish.

Humpback Whales could be seen travelling south from the dive boats and the Cape Headland and sometimes came into the bay for a splash. Divers could hear the whales sing.

Water temperature

20°C

Visibility

8 – 10 meters most of the week until Friday afternoon when it cleared up: 20 meters.
