Second visit from a Silky Shark at Galleria!!!

Some great diving occurred yesterday with us out for a double tank dive to Galleria and EN1! Starting with Galleria: Nice stunning blue visibility although a little less on the bottom but we had a lovely Honeycomb Whiptail sitting in the sand, a Devil Ray during the ascent and then to end it all off, a BIG Silky Shark that came right up close to us! Have a little video clip to follow that you can all see, to view this just find us on Facebook ;) Next up was EN1: What a beautiful dive this was! Again nice and blue, very relaxed dive but with lots of life for us to enjoy! We had 2 Leopard Sharks, 1 Hawksbill Turtle, 1 Green Turtle, a Spotted Guitar Shark, 2 Stone Fish, a Leaf Fish and a couple of Crocodile Fish! Amazing day out in the big blue ocean :)

Silky Shark seen on Galleria!!!

What a magical dive we had yesterday on Galleria! Dropping down into the beautiful blue of the warm ocean it didn't take us to long before we had our first sightings, 12 Honeycomb Whiptail Rays all together chilling on the sandy bottom, such beautiful creatures with their incredibly long tails! Next up was another amazing sighting as we had a very impressive Silky Shark (big as well!) come cruising past, what a sight to see! As the dive continued we had a couple more encounters with the ever so graceful Devil Rays, fantastic watching them when they start their "fighter jet" turns below you. Was a super start to the morning and you cant ask for much more than that! :)

Magical Days of Diving!!!

Just to give all you guys an update over the last 3 days of diving, have really had some cracking dives! Friday: A trip out to the North for a Reggies dive, a bit of a chilly bottom but that actually worked to our advantage. Pushed up above the cold water 2 Leopard Sharks and 5 Whitetip Reef Sharks who were pretty much swimming all around us! Not at all finished as we had a further 7 Spotted Eagle Rays come gliding past, MAGIC!!! Saturday: Headed out to a new dive site for the first time, EN1, absolutely fantastic! First dive we had 5 Leopard Sharks, 2 Honeycomb Whiptail Rays and a Hawksbill Turtle, also a huge school of Bat Fish which is always special. Second dive we had again 5 Leopard Sharks, 3 Honeycomb Whiptail Rays, 2 Green Turtles and once again a Hawksbill Turtle, what a beautiful Dive Site! Yesterday: Starting down South with Robs Bottom, a little more quiet but a very beautiful blue visibility, 1 Giant Guitar Shark and a school of Bigeye Trevally. Galleria down for the second, this one had a little more life and we were lucky enough to have a couple of Bottlenose Dolphins cruise in to say hello, Dolphins on a dive are always welcome! Also had another Spotted Eagle Ray pass by, all in all a pretty good couple of beautiful dives over the last few days!!! :)
