DIVE 1 – Northern Pinnacle: As we got to the reef we had a Potato Bass staying around with us. On our way to the caves we had a TIGER SHARK!!!!!!!!! In the caves we had 5 Ragged Tooth Sharks just chilling around. We spent most of our bottom time with them but we also had another 3 Potato Bass and lots of reef fish all over. Mid water we had 3 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks popping in and out.
DIVE 2 – Baited Shark Dive: As soon as we got in the water we had a MASSIVE TIGER SHARK cruising around our drum!!!!!!!! AMAZING INTERACTION WITH THE DIVERS AND HE STAYED AROUND FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES giving us an unbelievable show but as the first Oceanic Blacktip Shark came flying in, he then made his way into the distance. In total we had 7 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks and a Zambezi (Bull) Shark right before we got out the water!!!!!!!!!!!
