Humpback Whale and Black Marlin seen on scuba!

As most of you will know we had quite an amazing day yesterday, today however was almost as good! This morning we decided to head out to the North again only this time to Reggies. Visibility is still holding out at a good 15 to 20 meters, although the water temperature was 19 degrees! Started the dive off with a couple of the smaller guys, this being 2 Longnose Hawkfish and 2 white Leaf Fish. Then a visit from 2 Whitetip Reef Sharks as well as finding a big Loggerhead Turtle resting under a ledge. As we were nearing the end of the dive we had a huge Humpback Whale swim up close past us! He or She came over the last Cleaning Station nice and close up, such an amazing experience! Due to the slightly choppy conditions we headed over to Galleria for our second dive. The visibility on this site was better as well as having a slightly bluer colour. Current however was a little stronger. The life down there today was something special, had schooling fish all over the place as well as a few Potato Groupers and loads of Lobsters! Unfortunately no big visitors on the reef, however that was not the case at the Safety Stop. Started off with first watching a single Devil Ray cruise around and then out of the blue a Black Marlin pulled through to get a closer look at us! Another amazing way to finish a diving day! ;)
