Just a little update on some of our dives that have stood out over the last couple of days. Starting off with a dive to Galleria on Sunday. Not only did we get to watch a Giant Manta being cleaned on one of the cleaning stations but also 21 Devil Rays joined in. Along the the sandy bottom we also picked up a Sea Moth as well as a juvenile Ribbon Eel. Then onto Monday morning. Two dives went out to the South, Kingfisher was the first dive. On this one we were very privileged to have 3 separate Green Turtle encounters! Next dive, Manta Reef. This dive was full of marine life and we saw 2 Giant Manta's with one staying with us for about 20mins! The dive that stood out on Tuesday was at Galleria. We had a magical moment with a massive Leatherback Turtle cruising down alongside our divers, such a rare event! Once again we had that special Humpback Whale experience on a dive out to Oasis yesterday. Not only were there 2 Humpback Whales on the dive but we also discovered 2 Weedy Scorpionfish hanging out together! Also another Green Turtle, Whitetip Reef Shark and a Blotched Fantail Ray, what a dive! We also managed to take a few pictures which will be added but unfortunately no whale pictures. Visibility has been averaging around 15 to 20 metres over the last couple of days and the water temperature about 22 to 23 degrees. Lets keep up the good conditions and enjoy the awesome diving here with Diversity Scuba!

What another AWESOME diving day with us here at Diversity Scuba! Started this morning with a dive to Reggies and there were fish everywhere! Also along the way we encountered both a Green and Loggerhead Turtle, a very curious Whitetip Reef Shark as well as a decent sized Grey Reef Shark. Between the morning and afternoon dive we also went out on a Ocean Safari, with some more luck on our side we managed to snorkel with 2 Whale Sharks for most of the trip! Last dive of the day was out to Galleria. This was the better dive of the day in the sense that we had 2 HUMPBACK WHALES cruise past us! Unfortunately they didnt hang around but still amazing to see. Visibility has also increased and the wind should be dropping down over the next couple of days. Lets keep up the good diving! :)
