Whale Shark report - Sunday 3 May 2009

Amazingly clear water again today.  We jumped in on the main Ningaloo Reef for a drift snorkel before we found the whale sharks and it was incredible. There were schools of huge trevally, sleek barracuda and bream showing off their silver. Turtles cruised along in midwater and reef sharks swam along the bottom. The best time of the snorkel was the two dolphins that swam right under us!

We swam with four different whale sharks today ranging in size from 4 - 6m. We hit the water with our first whale shark at about 1215 and didn't finish swimming with them until just after 3pm. It was another fabulous day with these gentle giants!
