We'd barely left the mooring today for our Whale Shark Adventure before we were greeted by the first humpback whales of the day. A small group was cruising north making a great show of surfacing for a breath, then dipping under the rolling sea with a flash of their tails. It was a great humpback whale day as not only did we see them steadily for the whole time but we also had a couple breaching! It's incredible how high their splashes go when those enormous bodies hit the water!
Three seems to be our lucky number and we had three different whale sharks again today. All of them were cooperative and we had multiple nice long swims with each one. It was cool as again we had a very nice size range - 3m to 7m. The smaller ones still seem to more curious and personable, often turning to check out what all the commotion is about and coming in nice and close to the boat. Today our big 7m guy was also pretty interested in us and you could see him really having a good look. They were all feeding and our mid-sized shark did some great wide open mouth posing for us.
During the day we also had dolphins playing around the boat and we snorkeled with a huge oceanic manta ray. Yellow and silver-green trumpetfish, big cods, sailfin catfish and awkward looking barramundi cods kept us company as we snorkelled a beautiful site on the Ningaloo Reef.
One of clients said "This is better than the African Safari!" High praise indeed!
