Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - Friday 28 May 2010

Another gorgeous day here on the Ningaloo Reef. We started at Central Station for our dive and reef snorkel and it was a magical day! An enormous shark swam just on the edge of our vision, we waited to see if he'd come back, but it wasn't to be. Lots of fish, octopus, sting rays, nudibranchs and eels. Happiest of all were the MANTA RAYS! They are so awesome as they glide over us, pause to get a little cleaning action, cruise off into the distance and then swing around to do it all again.
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 6-8m
CURRENT: strong
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 16m

We were all abuzz after the awesome manta rays so the whale sharks had a lot to live up to and they did it effortlessly. We swam with three different whale sharks again today and they ranged in size from 4m - 7m. All of them were pretty cooperative: right on the surface, moving fairly slowly, allowing us to have multiple nice long swims. Beautiful whale sharks and a fabulous day!
