Exmouth Diving Centre Manta & Humpback Explorer - 3 July 2010

Our first Manta & Humpback Explorer of 2010 started us off with a perfect day! The seas were flat & warm, the sky sunny & blue, the temperature both in and out of the water just right. And the animals were awesome!

We started with some nice swims with a group of five huge manta rays. They didn't swim very far, but rather would swim a little ways and then bank gracefully and circle around us before swimming right in front of us again. We had excellent drops with them and really got to see how flexible and agile they are.

Once we were done with the manta rays we relaxed on the boat and watched several different humpback whales as they cruised up the coastline. One of them was very happy to show off his tail over and over again and another one seemed to pause every time it came to the surface so it could check us out with one eye!

The late afternoon clouds gave us a stunner of a sunset as we drove back to Exmouth from Tantabiddi. Pretty picture perfect end to a postcard kind of day!
