DIVE 1 – Southern Pinnacles: Dropped into beautiful water with sun shining – what a change! Ocean floor was alive with reef fish. Saw an Eagle Ray. Had Oceanic Blacktip sharks and Dusky sharks popping in and out of vision for the duration of the dive. The cherry on the cake was the 6 encounters with Hammerhead sharks (100’s at a time!!!) with shoaling Barracuda mixing with the sharks … amazing sight!!!  

DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacles: Saw Barracuda, Oceanic Blacktip sharks, Dusky sharks and Hammerhead sharks all shoaling together. Lucky enough to have 5 sightings of Hammerhead shark groups. Saw the largest Hammerhead shark (about +4m!!!) At the 5m mark, we saw plenty of inquisitive Dusky sharks and one lone Oceanic Blacktip shark. SO EPIC!!!!!
