Viz: 8 – 10m (clean water but very milky)

DIVE 1 – Southern Pinnacle: Lots of reef fish. Shoaling Bigeye Kingfish on Kingfish Gully and a Pototo Bass. 2 Hammerhead sharks, a Zambezi (Bull) shark and about 5 Round Ribbontail Rays on the reef. Mid water we had about 50 shoaling Hammerhead sharks. The viz was very milky so there could have been a lot more Hammers.

A HUGE Whale seen breaching from the boat. Dolphins and Flying Fish also seen from the boat.
