We swam with four different sharks today. The first was another small 2.5 whale shark who was super cuirious and was circling the snorkelers to see what all the commotion was about. The other three sharks were all over 5m and the last shark of the day was an enormous 6m...it's always amazing to see the huge difference a mere meter in length makes to the overall size of a whale shark!
We dived Central Station again and our manta ray friend was buzzing the cleaning station. She didn't settle in at the station but instead would float through it, disappear in the distance, then reappear and float through again. The fish life today was noticeably more active...it looks like someone has dropped about 10 zillion humbugs into all the staghorn coralheads and there are big schools of baitfish dotting the reef. Of course all the usual suspects - butterflyfish, angelfish, parrotfish, turtles, white tip reef sharks, eels, bannerfish, threadfin pearl perch, nudibranchs - were all there, too!
