DIVE 1 – Northern Pinnacle: On the reef we had about 6 Ragged-tooth sharks scattered all over. We also had 2 Oceanic Blacktip sharks and a quick glimpse of a Potato Bass. Mid water it got insane with 5 Oceanic Blacktip sharks and a Zambezi (Bull) shark darting in and out for the rest of our dive. Then Hammerheads!!!!! 100’s and 100’s of them!!! We had about two shoals pass by and even as we were waiting to pass equipment up to the boat after the dive, we looked down to find MORE HAMMERHEADS just passing right below us!!!

DIVE 2 – Baited Shark Dive: MIND BLOWING!!! The day got even better. On the drum we had 20 Oceanic Blacktip sharks and circling down below we had 4 Zambezi (Bull) sharks for our entire bottom time. We also had 100’s of shoaling Hammerhead sharks pass by as well as a Greater Hammerhead shark and a Tiger shark swam up to some of the divers to say HI!!!! 🙂
