DIVE 1 – Baited Shark Dive: As soon as we got the drum in the water we had sharks coming in. In total we had 15 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks and 5 Zambezi (Bull) Sharks staying with us for the whole dive. Action packed from beginning to end. Also lots of Remoras around.
DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacle: On our way down to the reef we had a massive Zambezi (Bull) Shark coming up close to the divers. The reef had beautiful reef fish all over with huge shoals of Bigeye Kingfish. We also had another 2 Zambezi (Bull) Sharks, a Greater Hammerhead Shark and 2 Guitar Sharks. Mid water we had at least 10 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks and a Scalloped Hammerhead Shark.
