Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - Sunday 16 May 2010

It was like someone flipped a switch today after a couple of very rough and windy days. The day turned lovely here on the Ningaloo Reef. We started at Central Station and had schools of trevally, big cowtailed stingrays, blue spotted rays, curious spotted pufferfish getting cleaned, a variety of nudibranchs and lots of balls of glassfish covering the reef.
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 10-15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 15m

And whale sharks. We had so many whale sharks today we lost count! And we had multiple, long, leisurely swims with each one. Several of them were circling us so we didn't even have to swim sometimes - just lay on the surface and let the whale sharks come to us! Now that's awesome.

We were swimming along happily with a 6m guy when he decided to dive deep. We kept following until he was out of sight and then signaled for the boat to come pick us up and move us to the next shark but just before we were about to get back on board a NEW whale shark swam right up to surface next to us! Now that's double awesome!!

What a terrific day out on our Whale Shark Adventure again! May is shaping up to be a wonderful month and we expect the whale sharks to be abundant all through June, too. Don't miss out - drop us a line and make your booking now!
