Whale Shark report - Tuesday 26 May 2009

Today started off a little overcast with a gentle 10kn south-easterly blowing. We headed to Central Station for our reef dive and were pleasantly surprised with 20m visibility and lots of action! The swell had dropped off to nothing so we had perfect dive conditions. Our best experience on the dive today was watching a manta ray hanging out on the cleaning station!
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 20m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

One of our whale sharks today - a 4m female - had a CSIRO tag attached so we know she's been here on the Ningaloo Reef before, which is always cool. She was very cooperative and we had lots of nice, long, slow (more or less!) swims. The day just got better and better and was totally glassed out by the afternoon. A glorious day again!
