DIVE 1 – Southern Pinnacles: Had a Humpback Whale just north of our drop sight just before entry – lovely start! And that was just the beginning! Dropped in on loads of game and reef fish. Drifted over Sand Shark Gully, and saw 3 Guitar sharks (WOW!) being followed by a massive Hammerhead shark!! But there is still more to come … from 25m+ spotted over 4 seperate schools of Hammerhead shraks!!! Also managed to see a big Oceanic Blacktip shark cruising on the bottom. At the safety stop, had another Oceanic Blacktip shark say goodbye to us as we ended a truly ama-ZING dive! Smiling from the inside out 🙂
DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacles: Wind picked up a bit at this point, but still managed to see a Hammerhead shark and a big Guitar shark with a baby next to it (lovely!) Loads of game and reef fish to see as well. At our safety stop we had another curious Oceanic Blacktip shark come see what was happening.
Great diving all in all. Smiles everywhere!!!
