English (Traduci questo testo in Italiano): Birthday Ledges is so named due to the
high number of surprises hidden in every
nook and cranny. The site is the southern
most tip of the large Blood reef and
therefore should be dived in either no
current or in the less common south north
current. Sitting further off shore than our
other sites, Birthday ledges often has
better visibility. As you drop down to the
deepest part of the site you’ll be at 18m
and will find an awesome cave roughly
2m in height. While in front of the cave
you’ll look up to see a colourful array of
pink and orange thistle coral. This cave
is an area to explore as one can enter the cave through the side wall and exit at
three different points. The cave system has three main areas… The 2m deep
passage leading out towards the right is the best of the swim throughs as it is
slightly wider than the rest and therefore lessens the chance of you damaging
the reef or yourself and your gear. The center passage, directly in front of the
cave entrance is approximately 3m deep but has no exit point at the end of it
how ever there is a roof exit that is in the center of all these passages. The
passage leading north, or to the left, is the narrowest of the lot, as it has more
overhead rock handing down. It’s great to have a torch along, especially in this
area as there are always interesting things hiding in the dark recesses of the
cave. The northern passage if followed leads towards the channel like rock
structure that you’ll follow from here. The channel walls are in between 3-4m
high, not always being solid to the ground. You’ll come across many cave like
gaps along the bottom edge of the wall that often house Blue stingrays. The
channel walls camouflage many paperfish and the more commonly overlooked
Painted anglerfish. Painted angler fish are known as Frogfish and are on most
avid divers’ ‘to-see list’. The skin patterns blend in well with there surroundings
and that can easily be mistaken as a small sponge or coral.
