DIVE 1 – Northern Pinnacle: On the reef we had Ragged-tooth sharks all around us. Every minute we had a creepy Raggie sneaking up on us. We then just saw a few odd reef fish and in the cave and around we had some more Ragged-tooth sharks. Mid water we had 2 Oceanic Blacktip sharks.

DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacle: On the dive we had 3 Hammerhead sharks passing above us. On the reef we had no action just a few reef fish. Mid water we had 1 Oceanic Blacktip shark.

DIVE 3 – Southern Pinnacle: On the reef we 4 Ragged-tooth sharks and 1 Potato Bass. Mid water we had 3 very curious Oceanic Blacktip sharks in and out.

DIVE 4 – Northern Pinnacle: We got straight into the second cave and no Ragged-tooth sharks but lots of shark teeth. On the way to the first cave we had lots and lots of Ragged-tooth sharks. Also an Oceanic Blacktip shark popped in. The reef was stunning with lots of reef fish. Then 2 REALLY OVER FRIENDLY Potato Bass, decided the divers were very interesting … and went in for a kiss. Mid water we had 3 very curious Oceanic Blacktip sharks in and out. Just as we were about to get out the water we had a Hammerhead shark come cruising by. FANTASTIC DIVE.
