Whale Shark report - 13 to 16 July 2009

Of course after we promised to be better about blogging, we had an internet problem and haven't been able to keep you up-to-date this week very well.  But we're back now so we'll make this another catch up Whale Shark Report.

The week started off slowly as we didn't see any whale sharks on Monday. We had three planes in the air and there wasn't a big spotty guy to be found. This was the first day since the middle of March that we did not get whale sharks and everyone was very bummed, but we were positive that it was just a blip, not the end of the season.

We did see lots of humpback whales and had some fabulous manta rays during our Monday tour, so the day out was still beautiful.

Sure enough, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday had wonderful whale sharks again! Yesterday the conditions were picture postcard perfect and we had multiple whale sharks, minke whales, humpback whales, dolphins, turtles and manta rays. The water was mirror flat most of the day and super blue.

We are hopeful that the whale sharks will stick around for at least another week or two and have Whale Shark Adventures scheduled through that time...it's not too late - come join us for the wonderful 2009 whale sharks before the season's over.
