Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - Friday 11 June 2010

We started at Central Station for an excellent dive and snorkel in clear blue water. From the time we dropped in to the time we got out we were surrounded by every kind & size fish you can imagine - the fish life was just thick on the whole site! We also had coral shrimp, octopus, cuttlefish (yay!), turtles, blue-spotted rays, big roughback rays and a wobbegong shark. Ningaloo Reef was going all out today for us!
WATER TEMP: 26C
VISIBILITY: 15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 17m

The whale sharks weren't going to be outdone by such a great start to the day. We swam with four different whale sharks ranging from 4m - 6.5m and there were lots of other sharks popping up all around us. Again today we had multiple drops on every shark we swam with and every one of the four was nice and cruisy, right at the surface so we had lots of opportunity to relax and enjoy.

The humpback whales are also becoming more prolific and we saw small groups of them all through the day. On the way back to our mooring, we even had a couple breeching over and over and over - SO COOL!!

Chalk up another fabulous day whale sharking here on the Ningaloo Reef in Exmouth!
