DIVE 1 – BAITED SHARK DIVE: It was action packed with at least 8 Oceanic Blacktip, 2 Dusky and 2 Zambezi (Bull) sharks staying with us until the end of the dive. We also had a few Copper sharks popping in and out and a shoal of about 10 Copper sharks swam passed the drum. We also had some Yellowfin Tuna.

DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacle: Got to the reef and there were reef and gamefish everywhere. As we looked up the were 4 Hammerhead sharks passing right over us!! Mid water we had so many sharks coming really close to the divers. About 5 Oceanic Blacktip and 4 Copper sharks. Also one Dusky shark and a HUGE shoal of Hammerhead sharks, 100+!!!!!! WOOOHHOOO!!!! Some very interesting jellyfish and plankton. With great weather and awesome conditions out at sea, a beautiful day of diving.
