Whale Shark report - Monday 18 May 2009

Who could believe it but the season just keeps getting better and better this year!  Today we dived on Central Station and in addition to all of the usual suspects like turtles, big cods, anemonefish, etc, we also had a leopard shark swimming around!  As if that wasn't enough, we also had a manta ray join us!!
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

Everyone was already saying what a great day out it was before we found our first whale shark of the day. We ended up swimming with four different whale sharks ranging from 4-7m. We had a blast! And just in case anyone was feeling like maybe we hadn't had enough good fortune already, as we were swimming with our third whale shark of the day - a 7m guy - a manta ray joined us for some barrel rolls! Right beside us as we swam along with the whale shark on the other side. Amazing!
