Whale Shark report - Thursday 16 April 2009

Sunshine! After a couple of days with the sun only peeking through, today was bright and sunny again.  The water on our dive site, The Floats, was super clear and there were hoards of fish zooming over the reef. A big potato cod rocked in the gentle surge and a huge cow tail ray rested under a coral outcrop.
WATER TEMP: 27C
VISIBILITY: 15-20+m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 17m

Yay for awesome whale sharks! We had super long swims with two different whale sharks today. Both of them started a little deeper than usual and then turned their mouths towards the surface and levitated towards the snorkellers. Both were feeding and watching them rise out of the deep blue opening and closing their mouths was too cool. Happily, once they reached the surface, they were perfectly content to swim along right next to the snorkellers. Another fantastic day out on Exmouth Diving Centre's Whale Shark Adventures!
