Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - 9 April 2010

Pretty choppy out on the water today, but, boy, did we have a great time! We started with a dive at Central Station and saw octopus, schools of trevally, a school of threadfin pearl perch, a huge painted crayfish and all sorts of small, colourful reef fish. The highlight of the dive was the eagle ray that glided by us!

We had one of those perfect whale sharks today. We stayed with him for ages and everyone had multiple, long, excellent swims with him. Happily, he was very very slow and also seemingly interested in us so it was easy to keep up with him even in the choppy seas. He was feeding for a while, right under the surface, too. A very good shark!
