Another weekly update.
just another update from this past week to let you guys know what we have been seeing. Whale Sharks have been seen on the Ocean Safari's as well as the dive boats that are visiting the sites down south! Diving down South: We have had the occasional Manta and Smalleye Stingray, both Green and Loggerhead Turtles, a couple of Frog Fish, a beautiful new purple Weedy Scorpion Fish, loads of Leaf Fish and a new Dragon Moray! Diving in the North: many Whitetip Reef Sharks have been seen, Leopard Sharks are becoming more common, Devil Rays on almost every dive, the odd Grey Reef Shark, Loggerhead Turtles, Leaf Fish and another Weedy Scorpion Fish! Our Central dive sites: A few Giant Guitar Sharks have made an appearance, Devil Rays are about, the occasional Hammerhead Shark and Whitetip Reef Shark and even the odd Manta Ray! Good news on top of all this is that the visibility has changed to that amazing blue once again! unfortunately the water temperature has seemed to drop on the deeper dives. Otherwise the diving has been amazing! :)

Awesome Visibility is back in Tofo!!!
just a little update on what went down on the dives yesterday. Visibility is back to that beautiful blue water!!! Morning dives were Manta Reef and Galleria, starting with Manta Reef. Dropping down we came across a large Loggerhead Turtle, 5 Leaf Fish scattered all around the reef, 2 Crocodile Fish, a Devil Ray passing over us and to finish the dive a huge Giant Manta Ray playing below us! Onto Galleria for our second dive. The same as the first dive, as in coming across a little Bowmouth Guitar Shark on the drop. Throughout the dive we were also followed by a Devil Ray which at one point 3 others joined up and proceeded to play around above us. Once again to finish off the dive we were visited by another Bowmouth Guitar Shark, however this one was a big one! As we had started to ascend at this point we just watched him swimming around below us, still an amazing creature to watch! Once again amazing dives :)
