06/09/12 Diving L'ilot
So this week we started surveying at L’ilot
Island. L’ilot is a small pile of rocks with a couple of trees on it off North
Point. Its rises about 8m out of the water and its steep sides drop straight
down to 20m below sea level in places making it quite something to look at and
a fantastic dive site as well. The waters around it are teeming with life from
the humble Parrotfish to White and Blacktip reef sharks and loads in between. Every
fish around it seems somehow bigger than at other dives sites we visit and
there’s always somewhere else to explore after your survey is finished. The
weather was great over the 2 days and although the visibility wasn’t, maybe
only 8m at times, doing the shallow surveys was like being in a washing machine
due to the surf, and everyone had fun.
