Whale Shark report - Sunday 5 April 2009

What a fabulous season we are having already for our Whale Shark Adventures!  Today we had multiple swims with three different whale sharks.  We had two males about 4 & 5m long and one small female about 3m long.  All were cooperative and swimming along at a nice slow pace!  There seemed to be a little more food in the water and so the blue was a little milkier than yesterday, but we were still able to watch the whale sharks as they approached from quite a distance.

Central Station was great with tons of mid-sized fish out and about. Sweetlips, trevally, big angelfish, coral trout and schools of threadfin pearl perch. A big turtle swam along the sand on his way to who knows where, but in no hurry.
