Whale Shark report - Tuesday 21 April 2009

We stayed inside the reef for our single reef dive on our Whale Shark Adventure today because the rising swell promised the outer sites would be hit by strong surge.  Coral Gardens was stocked with fish of all sizes and colours swaying in the gentle surge.  Rays tucked up under the bommies and a couple were making a mess of things searching for tasty treats buried in the sand.  Small wrasse hovered close to the rays to grab anything the rays stirred up but missed.  Active dive with lots going on everywhere around the site.
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 12m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 8m

The whale sharks were super again today. We snorkeled with multiple sharks as they slowly swam and sucked down on all the extra food the swell has brought in. The water was a little darker and a little greener than it has been, but the sharks didn't seem to care!
