DIVE 1 – BAITED SHARK DIVE: We got into the water and there was a SHORTFIN MAKO SHARK that came really really really close to the divers and was popping in and out throughout the whole dive, UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! In the beginning of the dive we had a huge shoal of at least a 100 Hammerhead sharks. Near the end of the dive we had a Hammerhead shark that came right up to the divers and stayed with us for a minute or two. Crazy way to start the day!!!
DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacle: Got to the reef and it was like a baited shark dive with Oceanic Blacktip, Dusky and Copper sharks popping in and out on the reef. The reef was full of beautiful reef fish and lots of Gamefish. Mid water we had so many Oceanic Blacktip, Dusky and Copper sharks that stayed with us throughout the rest of the dive. We also had a Zambezi (Bull) shark.
Lots of Humpback Whales seen from the boat!!! EPIC DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
