Planula Bed and Breakfast Retreat, Byron Bay

The marine life seems to like lower visibility, because they came all out to play.

Grey Nurse Sharks were everywhere. Some really large girls and a young male that had some serious bite marks on its side. Big, old Loggerhead turtle, large Groupers. Highlights must have been the large Shovelnose Ray and a SUNFISH (Mola mola). How good is that?

Number of Humpback Whales are getting less, but there are stil a few on their (hopefully merry) way South.

Weather

The skies at the beginning of the week were a bit overcast and there were some short showers, but that improved quickly. Northerly winds that picked up in the afternoons.

Sea

Again, a bit rough. Some of the diving was cancelled.

Water temperature

21°C

Visibility

Visibility kept dropping during the week: 1 – 5 meters!!
