Whale Shark report - Thursday 4 June 2009

Another fabulous Whale Shark Adventure today!  Central Station was buzzing with life including manta rays, turtles and huge cods.  A small group of inquisitive bannerfish decided to follow along behind some of the divers, sneaking in close to the bubbles before flitting away again.  Some very small octopus were doing their best to stay hidden in their holes - one day they'll learn to stop moving and changing colours when they want to stay hidden!
WATER TEMP: 25C
VISIBILITY: 8-10m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

A couple of our whale sharks today were swimming a little bit faster than we have gotten used to, but they weren't too fast...you just knew you'd had a pretty good workout once you got back on the boat for the next drop! We also had a nice mellow whale shark who kept an easy pace, which was a nice alternative.

Humpback whales came in pretty close to us so we got some nice views of them as they head north on their annual migration.

Another really nice day!
