DIVE 1 – Southern Pinnacles – THE ARCH: Whew, where to start! Got to THE ARCH where there was a huge shoal of Kingfish. Mid water the sharks started pulling in and we had 20+ Dusky sharks that popped in and out throughout the whole dive! Also saw over 5 different schools of Hammerhead sharks. On the safety stop we had 2 Scalloped Hammerhead sharks as well as beautiful ‘jellies’. INCREDIBLE DIVE!!!

DIVE 2 – Southern Pinnacles: Dropped in a baby Oceanic Blacktip shark. Then Dusky sharks all over. Mid water, we got caught in a ball of HUNDREDS of Hammerhead sharks, to the point where we couldn’t see each other anymore! WOW!!!! Also had a really friendly Remora on our safety stop.

What a fantastic day of diving!!!!
