Current: medium
Viz: 5-10m
Sea Temp: 26 degrees Celsius top, 24 degrees Celsius bottom
Northern Pinnacle: On our way down to the reef we had some Rainbow Runners fly past. Didn’t stay around the caves as the reef’s topography was just too beautiful to miss out on so we just went with the current. Over the second cave we spotted a Tiger Shark in the distance. then after about 5 minutes we spotted him again, and again after another 5 minutes!!! With the water being so murky, made it quite the surprise every time he showed up. We also had a Eagle Ray and an a Oceanic Blacktip Shark before we started multi- leveling.
Southern Pinnacles: The reef was booming with fish all over!!! massive schools of Kingfish and Batfish with some beautiful smaller fishes everywhere. We had a Round Ribbon-tail Ray chilling in the sand and as we started ascending we had some Barracuda pass by.
