Whale Shark report Sunday 29th March 2009

Woohoo! What an awesome day!  It was  little breezy and choppy when we first arrived at Tantabiddi boat ramp, but by the time we were on Concorde and heading off the mooring, the wind had died down and the seas were calming nicely.  We had a little chop all day, but mostly it was just a very nice day to be on the water.

We had multiple sharks spotted by 1025 this morning and were swimming our little hearts out for hours.  The first guy was a 3.5m shark slowly cruising with the tip of his tail out of the water and then we moved about 100m south to our second shark.

After hanging out with him for a while we ventured just slightly off the reef into deeper water and swam with a tiny 2-2.5m guy who was bobbing his head, feeding and doing circles around the snorkellers.

Fabulous!!

Sorry, I had a little video for you but the web is playing silly buggers and it's not loading properly at the moment. We'll try to get a little something up soon!
