Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - 06 April 2010

The whalesharks here in Exmouth have been fantastic so far this 2010 season! Today we had two different sharks again.

Our first whale shark of the day was a cute-as-a-button 3m guy who swam nice and slowly for us. He was in no hurry, we were in no hurry and we had so many really long, leisurely drops with him that we couldn't keep count!

Our second whale shark was just about 5m and also very relaxed. Again, we had multiple long swims with this one and the whole time was just amazing.

It was one of those magical days!

We popped in for a scuba dive on Central Station for the first time this season and the big cowtail rays were out in force with several in the sand just off the site and another tucked right up under a ledge. A small group of threadfin pearl perch hovered & spun in a lazy circle as we got up close to them and a good sized green turtle swam next to us for a few minutes. Bannerfish, moorish idols, parrotfish and goatfish added splashes of colour.
