Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - 12 April 2010

Another glorious day with our mighty Ningaloo Reef whale sharks!

Central Station led us off with a fabulous snorkel and dive. Turtles, rays, sharks, schools of trevally, barracuda and threadfin pearl perch. Masses of parrotfish gnawing loudly on the reef. Bannerfish, moorish idols, butterflyfish and angelfish flitting along in the blue. Fun!
WATER TEMP: 25C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: very slight
SURGE: very slight
DEPTH: 14m

And then came the whale sharks! Again, we had drop after drop with several different whale sharks. All of them were swimming nice and slowly for us - it's almost as if they know we're way less able in the water than they are! We swam and swam, got tired, had some more food, swam some more, watched the whale sharks from the boat, swam some more, ate more, had another whale shark swim and finally collapsed smiling and tired!
