Humpback Whales on Scuba!!!

Beautiful dive out this morning on Oasis with Humpback Whales! Had a awesome dive out today in the blue waters at Oasis, not long after we dropped we had our first Whitetip Reef Shark, this was then also followed by a decent sized Grey Reef Shark swimming over the Cleaning Station. Our new friend the Napoleon Wrasse ( who has become quite the regular ) was also out and about, swimming around with a Giant Manta only a few meters away from him! It was at this time that 2 Humpback Whales came gliding past, always something special to witness! The dive however was still not over, nearing the end of the reef we came across a free swimming Giant Moray Eel, managed to follow him for about 20meters before he found a new hiding hole. Then just to end everything off we had 4 Whitetip Reef Sharks all hiding together in a large crack along the reef, looked like they were all enjoying a nice nap! :)

North still at its Best!!!

Manta's were out and about in the North this morning! First dive up was Reggies, dropping down we were instantly visited by a large Reef Manta who came around to say hello to all of us. Not long after our visitor we came across 2 huge Grey Reef Sharks swimming around above us as well as 3 more Whitetip Reef Sharks along the way. Some other encounters were 2 White Leaf Fish and the beautiful Blue Ribbon Eel to end of our dive! Next up Oasis, yet again a awesome Shark dive! Constantly had sightings of Whitetip Reef Sharks as well as 2 Grey Reef Sharks and 1 Giant Manta cruising by! Also again we found 2 more White Leaf Fish, diving the North was amazing! :)
