Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - 04 April 2010

It's another beautiful day on the Ningaloo Reef as we head out for more whale sharks! The mornings have turned cool (bring a warm layer!) before the sun heats things up to the lower 30s under bright blue skies.

Today we had two sharks again and another day of heaps and heaps of in-water time with them. The first was about 4m and he was zoomy zoom zooming along! We had a couple of drops with him before he decided he had better whale shark things to do and dived deep.

Our second shark was a pretty big guy at 7m and was very close to the back of the reef in really shallow water. As we swam with him we could see all of the other reef critters like turtles, parrotfish, white tip reef sharks, nurse sharks, and blue spotted rays, too! He wasn't quite as speedy but we did all have to work to keep up sometimes. It's a great feeling to sprawl out on the deck in the sun for a few minutes before dropping in again!
