Rowley Shoals Dive trip
Went on an excellent dive trip to the remote Rowley Shoals in Western Australia between 30/11/20-05/12/20 – Rowley shoals is about 300km northwest of Broome in Western Australia. Went with the dive boat the Great Escape The boat sets off from Broome and travels overnight to Rowley shoals. We encountered some rough seas and some of the passengers were seasick but arrived safely at our destination.
Day1
It’s a very remote location and the fish don’t get many visitors so they are curious about the SCUBA fish that blow bubbles. Check out this puffer fish.
I had the very annoying experience with my Atomic Cobalt 2 dive computer failing again after it had been “repaired” by Atomic. The Great Escape crew were excellent and quickly came up with a workaround. They lent me a simple pressure gauge.
Heres’ a white tipped reef shark resting on the sandy bottom and being cleaned
Day 2 of the great escape
Another view of a white tip
There were a lot of massive bump head parrot fish and reef sharks.
Day 3 & 4 of the great escape
A bump head getting cleaned by two cleaner wrasse
The eye of the clown fish
The coral rhino head
The dazzling smile and impressive, coral munching, teeth of the bumped parrot fish
The Clown fish don’t like to leave their anemone and so they are easy to photograph and video.
We headed back to Broome after the 4th day. We just missed a storm which arrived the day after we got back to Broome.
