We started with a reef dive at Central Station and it was one of the best dives ever here! Leopard shark, nurse shark, tons of nudibranchs, turtles, big schools of fish, large cod, crazy anemonefish and a MANTA RAY! It was one of those dives when everything was out showing off and every minute brought something cool into vision.

The whale sharks had a lot to live up to after such a fabulous start to the day and they did not disappoint. We swam with FIVE different sharks today. Four of them were swimming nice and slowly and one had a little speed on, but not too much - we still had a couple of nice drops with him.
Happily the other four were just cruising so we had multiple, long drops with each of them. One of them dived down a ways and so we got to watch the dizzying patterns of the sun beams scattering across his striped and dotted back - it was gorgeous against the deep blue water. Another of our whale sharks seemed to slow right down once we were in the water next to him. He didn't change course, just seemed to enjoy the attention!
