Shark life was evident almost immediately with several juvenile silver tips cruising around under the boat and checking out the divers. Green and fine-spotted morays roamed the reef bottom, free swimming and often following divers. One diver reported a large hammerhead shark, and I saw an adult silky shark cruising the blue as well. Lots of leather bass, moorish idols, butterfly fish, the endemic Clipperton Atoll angelfish, damsel fish, sergeant majors, blue and gold snapper, trevally jacks, black triggers, goldrim surgeonfish, among others completed the beautiful reef scene.

Today we had not only 4 amazing dives but the added adventure of a large chunk of whale floating past the boat. Normally I would not consider this a good thing but the 2m sq hunk of humpback whale was providing shelter and nourishment for a variety of fish. Our intrepid Captain Al took a few of us out to get a closer look (and smell unfortunately) in one of the ribs.
