Southern Pinnacles: OOOHH MY GOODNESS!!!! WHERE DO I START?!!! On the reef we had SO SO SO MUCH HAPPENING!!!!! At least 50 Ragged Tooth Sharks scattered all over the reef getting SUPER SUPER close to the divers with 2 Zambezi (Bull) Sharks and about 4 Copper Sharks circling in the distance. We also had a Greater Hammerhead Shark and a few Oceanic Blacktip Sharks circling above us!!!! On the reef we had about 6 Eagle Rays, a Round Ribbontail, 2 Potato Bass with so many Gamefish all over!!!!!! Right before we started to multi level we had another 3 Eagle Rays, a MASSIVE GREATER HAMMERHEAD and a big school of Barracuda being stalked by a smaller Hammerhead Shark!!! Mid water we had 4 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks, a few Copper Sharks in the distance and 2 Zambezi (Bull) Sharks. Close to the end of the dive we had 3 HUMPBACK WHALES come up from the deep and passed by SUPER CLOSE!!!! LIKE NOSE TO NOSE CLOSE ENCOUNTER!!!!!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE SIGHTING!!!!!!!!
