Exmouth Diving Centre Whale Shark report - Monday 4 April 2011

Fabulous day with the whale sharks today!

We started with a stop on the Ningaloo Reef for some diving and snorkeling at Central Station. There was a lot of action to see with coral trout, estuary cod, turtles, white tip reef sharks, raccoon butterflyfish, strawberry cod, crocodilefish, blue spotted rays, nudibranchs, sailfin catfish, parrotfish, long fin bannerfish and so much more!
WATER TEMP: 28C
VISIBILITY: 3-8m
CURRENT: none
SURGE: none
DEPTH: 18m

The whale sharks were super cooperative today and we once again had so many drops and swam so much that everyone was too tired to do any more! We swam with three different sharks ranging in size from 3.5 - 7m and all of them let us spend a lot of time with them. A couple of them were very curious and kept doing little circles around us and coming right up to the boat - we love it when they pay attention to us!
