Whale Shark report - Thursday 25 June 2009

Wow, another fantastic day on Exmouth Diving Centre's Whale Shark Adventure filled with the Big Three - humpback whales, whale sharks and manta rays!

We snorkelled with three different whale sharks today ranging from 3m to 7m. Our 7m guy was HUGE - so big around! Obviously very well fed :) All of the whale sharks were feeding today again and they were nice and slow so we had multiple, pretty cruisey relaxed swims with each of them. As we were swimming along with one of our whale sharks, a tiger shark joined us for a few minutes - well under the whale shark and us - his stripes dazzling to watch as the sun bounced off them. It was such an awesome day again - the whale sharks were just perfect!

We also had one of the best manta ray experiences so far this season! We swam with them for almost a whole hour! They were feeding, rolling, coming back around to check us out, chasing each other - fantastic!

Humpback whales were again numerous and we watched them track up the reef. A group of three were swimming in synch, each rise to the surface and big blow perfectly timed together.
