Southern Pinnacle: Right as we got to the reef we saw a big shoal of something in the distance. At first we thought it was some funny looking Kingfish but as we got a closer look it was a set of about 50 Shoaling Hammerhead Sharks passing by!!!!! OOOHH MY GOODNESS. The reef had Round Ribbontail Rays all over, at least 20 to 30 of them. Had to be careful not to swim into a few of them. We also had some Bigeye Kingfish, Tuna and 3 Zambezi (Bull) Sharks. As we started to multi- level we had another set of about 20 Shoaling Hammerhead Sharks pass over us!!. Mid water we had 3 Zambezi (Bull) Sharks, 2 Oceanic Blacktip Sharks and another shoal of 10 Hammerhead Sharks to end of our dive. WOW. What an amazing surprise from natures side!!!
