Current: strong, ‘Protea Express’
Viz: 15 – 20m
Sea Temp: 21 degrees Celsius
DIVE 1 – Northern Pinnacles: Current was very strong, so cleaning up the water nicely. While I was looking at a Potato Bass, apparently Michelle was looking at a Zambezi (Bull) shark at the bottom. We also has another 2 Oceanic Blacktip sharks very briefly at the bottom. In mid water we has another 2 Oceanic Blacktip sharks and 2 Zambezi (Bull) sharks – one kinda fancied Suresh. Also on the dive a couple of Potato Bass. 1 Eagle Ray and 1 Electric Ray. A few cheeky Remora. The reef was very pretty, we got to La La Land … but we saw everything very quickly due to the strong current.
DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacles: As we dropped we had 2 Zambezi (Bull) sharks. Mid water we had another Zambezi (Bull) shark and an Ocaenic Blacktip shark. 5 Round Ribbontail Rays. Big shoal of Kob, Kingfish and Rainbow Runners. Lots of reef fish. A HUGE Jelly fish.
