We started with a fabulous dive at Central Station with sharks, potato cod, big turtles, lots of fish and manta rays! We'd tell you more, but we need to get to the rest of the day:
WATER TEMP: 24C
VISIBILITY: 12-15m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 17m
Breaching humpback whales, humpback whales coming within meters of us while we were snorkeling with the whale sharks, humpback whales spy-hopping to check us out.
Orcas feeding and showing off.
More manta rays!
THREE WHALE SHARKS around us at ONE TIME!! It was mind-blowing! The three were circling the boat and us while we were snorkeling - it was hard to keep track of which whale shark we were originally watching! They were devouring a big school of bait that was so thick in places we could barely see the whale shark through it. One of these guys was a whooping 9m and simply too big to describe!
There were also other types of sharks patrolling below the baitball and manta rays were cruising around and around us and the whale sharks, too.
Needless to say, we lost count of how much time we spent with the whale sharks, how many individual whale sharks (there were more than just those three!) we saw and how many drops we had :)
Just completely WOW!
