Whale Shark report - Wednesday 13 May 2009

Central Station was awesome for our dive today.  Huge cowtail stingray kicking up a bunch of sand as he foraged for some tasty morsels in the sand.  Grey reef shark patrolling - we saw him several times.  Sailfin catfish zipping around.  Plus all of the normal colourful reef fish, schools of threadfin pearl perch, anemone fish, eels...great dive!
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 15m & blue blue
CURRENT: none
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 16m

The whale sharks were awesome yet again today. We had multiple sharks and so many drops that our legs were wobbly! Thankfully one of the whale sharks took pity on us and slowed way down so we could just float on the surface and watch him...we barely had to fin at all. He would swim a little, then do a big gently banking turn and curve around back to us. He even followed us right back to the boat! Loving it!
