Whale Shark report - Sunday 31 May 2009

Another brilliant day with the whale sharks and on the Ningaloo Reef!  We started once again at Central Station and were rewarded with manta rays on our dive.  Blue spotted rays are everywhere at the moment and some of them have blue spots that glow so brightly they look electrified!  A white tip reef shark was practicing for the Shark Olympic Sprints as he was zooming full speed back and forth across the top of the reef with no apparent goal in mind.
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

In addition to the fabulous multiple swims with multiple whale sharks today, we also got to snorkel with a manta ray who charged right at us and then started doing barrel rolls for more than 10 minutes with us! There were also several humpback whales cruising up the reef and we stopped to watch them for a bit. Super day!
