Whale Shark report - Tuesday 28 April 2009

Another glorious day on the ocean here in Exmouth saw us run further south than we have been going so far this season. The view back towards shore and the Cape Range National Park is just gorgeous and the weather was perfect to enjoy it - or a little nap! We had a super long swim with one 4.5m whale shark today - over 60 minutes!  Everyone was happy, hungry and ready for another nap by the time we had enough.

We dived at Nick's Lumps again today and had some great schools of surgeonfish and sweetlips at the top of the site and some white tip reef sharks at the bottom. In between were all manner of blue, yellow, orange & purple fishes. Octopus were out and about all over the site, with several of them free swimming from one outlook to the next. A big school of Buff Bream circled endlessly during our whole dive.
