Whale Shark report Tuesday 31st March 2009

Another day out with multiple sharks on our Whale Shark Adventure!   We swam with three different sharks ranging from a tiny 2.5m to 4m.  There's such a huge difference in size that isn't really reflected in just the length measurement - the 4m shark is positively massive and seems to be WAY bigger than just twice as long!

We did our single dive on the Ningaloo Reef at Coral Lumps.  This site, as the name suggests, is a collection of coral bommies covered in Christmas tree worms &anemones with anemonefish, stingrays resting under ledges and many species of colourful reef fishes dancing in the sunlight.  Several pufferfish kept a close eye on the divers from their strategic position over the sand between the bommies.
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 8m
CURRENT: very mild
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 6m
