Whale Shark report - Tuesday 2 June 2009

We started our Whale Shark Adventure at Central Station for a dive and snorkel today.  It was an overcast day which made things a little darker, but the water was very clear and blue anyway.  Our best encounter on today's dive was swimming alongside a turtle who had a whole entourage of various fish cleaning his shell as he swam.  Those fish stayed with him for what seemed like miles - when one would drop off, another would appear from no where.  It was great fun to watch.
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 15-20m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

Multiple whale sharks let us swim multiple times with them again today. Our first whale shark was in very shallow water so we could see everything happening on the reef as we swam along! Later in the day we snorkeled with whale sharks out in jewel blue waters that really made their white markings POP. Another happy day!
