DIVE 1 – Southern Pinnacle: As soon as we got to the reef we had 2 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks. There were lots of reef and gamefish all over including a beautiful Parrotfish and a Potato Bass. Right before we started to multi level we had a HUGE MANTA RAY passing right over us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mid water we had about 4 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks popping in and out. On our way up to the safety stop we had another 2 MANTA RAYS circling us for a minute or two. WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!! OOHH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!

As soon as we got to the boat Jaco told us that he had a KILLER WHALE swimming and surfacing right next to the boat!!!!!!! AND while we waited out our surface interval on the boat we had a MINKE WHALE pass by!!!!!!!

DIVE 2 – Northern Pinnacle: Got to the second caves and played around there for a while. Suresh said he saw a beautiful Nudibranch which we should not forget to mention. LOL!! On the reef we had a Potato Bass and 2 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks chilling around. Mid water was like a Baited Shark dive with so many sharks. We must have had at least 6 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks and 4 Zambezi (Bull) Sharks staying with us for the rest of the dive. As we surfaced we had a Pod of about 15 Dolphins pass!!!!!

A EPIC DAY OF DIVING. DEFINITELY ONE FOR THE BOOKS!!!!!
