Cuttlefish at Bait Reef

Greg — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:40:32 +0000

Another one of the amazing creatures you will come across while diving Bait Reef is the Cuttlefish. Cuttlefish are sometimes referred to as the chameleon of the sea because of their remarkable ability to rapidly alter their skin color at will. Cuttlefish change color and light polarisation to communicate to other cuttlefish and to camouflage themselves from predators.

They use their camouflage to hunt and sneak up on their prey. When they get close enough, they open their eight arms and shoot out two long feeding tentacles. On the end of each is a pad covered in suckers that grabs and pulls prey toward its beak.

Whales Whales Whales!!

Kiana’s trip on the 4-6 July was one to remember for our Guests. At Bait Reef the whales were everywhere. At a popular dive site, “Mantaray Dropoff “, our snorkellers were joined by two inquistive whales and the scuba divers had the same experience. During the time at Bait Reef the crew counted 30 whales on different occasions, although it was difficult to work out how often the same whales were spotted.

On the way home, about 6 miles out from Bait Reef, two whales decided the Kiana and our guests needed close inspection. Our skipper immediately stopped the vessel with whales in such close proximity. These two whales stayed with Kiana for over an hour. The video tells the story.
