Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - Saturday 17 April 2010

Magical day! Flat, blue, clear ocean. Brilliant blue skies. A gentle breeze to keep the temperature perfect. Dive and snorkel at Central Station with all of the usual parrotfish, stingrays, eels, threadfin pearl perch, white tip reef sharks, goatfish. Another eagle ray today, too!
WATER TEMP: 24C
VISIBILITY: 12m
CURRENT: very slight
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 15m

And then more wonderful whale sharks! Multiple sharks, multiple swims with each. All of the sharks were swimming pretty slowly again so we easily kept up and could even move from left side to right side in a single drop - very cool view from behind the tail! The whale sharks seemed curious again today and each one had many cobia and other hitchhikers following along.

Bliss!
