Dive report - Whale Shark Report Tuesday 7 July 2009

Another day of beautiful conditions.  Central Station was buzzing with life including multiple manta rays at the cleaning stations and just cruising along, a huge loggerhead turtle and anemonefish going mad around their very cool anemone.
WATER TEMP: 24C
VISIBILITY: 20m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 16m

Three more whale sharks spent time with us today, ranging from 3.5m to 4.5m. Each one was very cooperative and we had lots of drops and lots of time in the water. One was feeding by bobbing its head up and down quite fast - it looked like one of those bobble-head dolls in the back of a car window! The sharks were all beautiful thanks to the amazing sunlight streaming through the super blue water - those white spots and grey stripes really stand out in conditions like these.

During our Whale Shark Adventure we had more manta rays and some great humpback whales playing along the reef. This was a simply perfect day!
