We stopped at Central Station for our reef dive & snorkel today and it was amazingly active. We saw the biggest green turtles we have ever seen just cruising along. His shell was almost totally covered in barnacle. He was huge! There were stingrays of all sizes along the site - in the sand, under ledges, flying along the reef edge. Every cleaning station was doing brisk business with every imaginable type of fish waiting for a scrub.

There were whale sharks everywhere again today and we had two pretty much all to ourselves. We hit the water with the first one at 10am and we snorkelled with our whale sharks until just after 1pm when no one could fin another stroke! We all collapsed on the deck laughing and telling stories of what we'd just done. It was awesome.
Our first whale shark was a 3.5-4m guy with a tag and he was completely surrounded by little fishes. Our second whale shark was a larger female - about 6.5m. She had lots of fish around her, too, and was very happy to swim along with us. At one point she did the whale shark glide towards the bottom and then came straight up underneath us, mouth open. We were all trying to snorkel backwards to give her room!
Fabulous day!
