Whale Shark report - Monday 25 May 2009

Central Station was surprisingly clear and active today after a couple of days of monster swell.  Massive cow tail stingrays have clearly decided to call this site home, at least temporarily, and we saw one of the biggest ones yet today.  A huge green turtle swam languidly alongside of the divers.  And we had a MANTA RAY!
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 12-15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

All of our whale sharks today were right on the surface and were swimming along nice and slowly. We swam with 4 different whale sharks from 3.5-5m and each drop was better than the last...the whale sharks seemed to get perkier as the day went on. The water isn't back to being blue blue, but it was pretty clear and really showed off the sun rays. The whale sharks looked like they were lit up when the shining rays danced around them. It was an exceptionally pretty time today!
