Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - Thursday 29 April 2010

We had another fabulous day today out on our Whale Shark Adventure. Our dive and snorkel at Central Station gave us sharks, rays, turtles, schools of fish, nudibranchs, eels - all of the usual creatures that make diving here so much fun!

VISIBILITY: 30m
CURRENT: very slight
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 15m

It was another day of multiple whale sharks and multiple long swims. We swam with three different whale sharks today including two small guys who took great delight in trying to round us all up. One of them kept showing off how easy it is for him to swim circles around us - literally! It was hilarious trying to scramble out of his way - we were laughing so hard we could barely get back on the boat. All three whale sharks had plenty of escorts - numerous big remora, pretty yellow juvenile trevally, kingfish... We had enormous grins the whole day.

We also had some extra special visitors while we were swimming with our whale sharks today. A huge eagle ray glided along near the bottom as we swam with one whale shark and then with our second whale shark a stunningly shimmery bronze whaler shark cruised along about 10m below us. Every day we are treated to something cool and today was a triple play!

The whale sharks here in Exmouth have been pretty fantastic all season so far, but today was just one of those days we dream about: flat seas, fun people, clear blue water, warm temperatures, gentle breeze, abundant marine life and fabulous whale sharks.
