Whale sharks!

Whale shark season was on so we (with Aleksi, Craig, Kelvin and Talia) decided to go out there for a weekend with Black Manta again.

This time dive spots were 7 Skies wreck, Batu Kotaka, Tokong Melangbin and Igara wreck.

It was season and I havent seen whale sharks before so whole trip was loaded with lot of expectations. Additionally during last couple of weeks whale sharks have been spotted these dive sites which promised good for us.

First dive on first spot (7 Skies) and there it was! Just below us. Big, calm and beautiful. After few minutes another chap appeared from the depths and stayed with us about 10 minutes. These fellows were still juveniles and only 5-6 meters, but still...Absolutely lovely creatures!





Rest of the dives were ok, especially Igara wreck, but after whale sharks everything felt somehow a bit lame. Even giant lobster during our night dive.




Thanks to Talia for all the pictures.
