Today's Whale Shark Adventure started with a stop at Central Station. There was no swell at all so the snorkellers were able to explore the really shallow areas of this site while the divers headed for the deeper edge. There were tons of small jellies in the top few meters, but none of these guys really sting (and we provide full length suits as part of our tour, just in case), they just provide food for everything else! The site was active with the usual schools of fish, turtles, reef sharks and colourful reef fishes.
WATER TEMP: 28C

This was one of those surprising whale shark days. We've been having a very good season so far and expected nothing less today. Boy, were we wrong!
It wasn't very good ... it was totally AMAZING! We swam with EIGHT - yes EIGHT - different sharks!! They were all in a very small area and we'd swim for a while, then move to the next one, swim for a while, move to another one ... and they were all just going along slowly so we had awesome, long and easy swims each time!
And we had a very cool size range, too. The smallest whale sharks were about 3.5m and we had 5 whale sharks in the 4-6m range. As if that wasn't cool enough so far, the biggest whale shark of the day was a whopping 8.5m!! That is huge, enormous, gigantic; they don't just get l-o-n-g they get W-I-D-E!
