Whale Shark report - Saturday 9 May 2009

Incredible action on our Whale Shark Adventure today!  We started off with a dive at Three Fins. Big school action was the name of the game today with huge schools of drummers, darts, trevally and surgeonfish. Turtles were out munching on the jellies drifting by. Juvenile batfish hung out near the tops of the reef. Our snorkellers were treated to a beautiful tiger shark who swam right under them.
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 18m

Whale sharks were all over today! We swam with 5 different whale sharks ranging from 3m to 6.5m long. It was great to be able to hop from one shark to another - they were in such a small area that we'd swim with one, then get picked up and move to another one! Fun! The water was blue and the sea was calm. Simply a fantastic day.
