Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - Tuesday 1 June 2010

Central Station was gorgeous today with a huge school of threadfin pearl perch, zillions of bright green, pink & purple parrotfish, blue-spotted stingrays, tiny moray eels, lionfish, turtles and two white tip reef sharks.
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 10m
CURRENT: moderate
SURGE: mild
DEPTH: 16m

What a way to kick off June! We hit the water with our first whale shark of the day around 1pm and the whole afternoon was awesome. We swam with three different whale sharks and all of them were in clear water, very close to the surface and - our favourite - slow! Whale shark #3 was 8.5m and H-U-G-E!


We also saw dolphins, manta rays AND a minke whale who popped up right in front of the boat as we were cruising along the reef. Excellent day again!

It's not too late for you to head up to Exmouth for the mighty whale sharks in 2010. We expect great sightings all through June and well into July, so give us a ring on 08 9949 1201 or drop us an email to arrange your Ningaloo Reef visit now!
