DIVE 1 – Northern Pinnacle: On the reef we had 5 Ragged-tooth sharks while we hovered over the the first cave. 2 Oceanic Blacktip sharks came dipping down into the cold water to say HI !! As we drifted along the reef we had some fun and went to the swim through. Mid water we heard some Dolphins but didn’t see them.
DIVE 2 – Baited Shark Dive: As we got into the water and had 2 Oceanic Blacktip sharks waiting around the drum. As the dive went on we 2 more joined in and we had a Zambezi (Bull) shark circling at about 15m. We also had a MASSIVE Eagle Ray joining in and gracefully making his way into the distance again!!! Actually thought it as a Manta in the beginning due to size. LOL! And we also had a single Hammerhead shark pass by as we were about to get out!!! GREAT DIVE!!!
