DIVE 3 – Southern Pinnacles: 1 Oceanic Blacktip shark, 1 small TIGER shark, a big Bull (Zambezi) shark that hung around for two minutes, but still slightly deep. A shoal of Barracuda. A big shoal of Kingfish. Reef teaming with reef fish settling down for the night. A few interesting ‘jellies’ around. A perfect late dive …!
