HMAS Swan Wreck Dive

Evening dive at the HMAS Swan Wreck, 17 Feb 2024, right before our night dive. Start time 5:41pm, Dive #132, Dive time 47 min, Max depth 23.8m (Swan goes down to ~30m).

This was my 3rd dive at the Swan and it is such a large ship, there is never going to be enough dives to explore. And even if you saw it all, you come back tomorrow and the characters you see would all be different.

My buddy and I were thrilled to see (among many other cool fish friends) the biggest Western Blue Groper we have seen to date. He was a hungry fellow, we followed him a while as he bit into coral on the deck of the Swan to prize off any crustaceans with his teeth.

Some others on the boat had the great fortune of seeing a (probably pregnant) grey nurse shark on the ship as well! How epic, never know what you will find.

Many other fishies were seen including a blue devil, multiple Fox fish, passing Samson fish, Batfish, Scalyfin,I think a wrasse I have possibly only seen before at the Swan (yet to ID), a curious Baldchin groper and many more.

Enjoy :)
