Whale Shark report - Wednesday 15 April 2009

Overcast skies greeted us as we headed out for the day, but the water was beautifully blue and there was only a very gentle breeze.  Again our planes were finding multiple sharks and we swam and swam and swam!  Today we had a good variety of sizes including a really broad 6m whale shark.

Most of the whale sharks were cruising along fairly slowly so it was easy to relax and watch them move effortlessly through the blue.  We still have tons of food in the water and most of the sharks we swam with were feeding a little bit, too.

We did our dive on Coral Lumps and it was crazy with bright greeny-blue parrotfish. You could hear them crunching away on the reef and they seemed to be in every size possible. Little stingrays hid out on the sand surrounding the bommies and colourful chromis flitted over the tops of the corals.
