DIVE 1 – Southern Pinnacles: First part of the dive was very quiet and then Oceanic Blacktip sharks kept on popping in and out of the dive – numerous encounters with at least 3 Oceanic Blacktip sharks. 1 HUGE Tuna being chased by an Oceanic Blacktip shark … luckily it got away. Reef and game fish. AWESOME DIVE!
DIVE 2 – Northern Pinnacles: First cave overflowing with Ragged-tooth sharks. Second cave had 2 Ragged-tooth sharks so we managed to get some teeth. 2 Potato Bass. The safety stop was going off with Bull (Zambezi) and Oceanic Blacktip sharks popping in and out … AWESOME sight … dive lasted 79 minutes. Reef and game fish and lots of Remora’s following the divers. INCREDIBLE action packed dive!
