I turned and once again the whale shark was approaching. I ascended about 10 feet to stay out of its’s way and get some video. Very exciting for my first day diving.

A very large whale shark cruised in to greet us followed by various species of sharks including silver tip, hammerhead, galapagos and silkie sharks all in one massive school.

Some hammerheads made a cameo on the last dive, as well as humpback whales just behind the boat during the surface interval topped off the end of the day.

Just when we were wondering how it could get any better… our eyes adjust looking out into the blue water as the famous spots of the largest fish in the ocean appear. A school bus of a giant female *WHALESHARK!!* cruises past us, only to be followed by a couple chevron and black manta rays.

Second dive of the day, we saw two beautiful hammerhead sharks among about ten Galapagos sharks. Visibility was incredible.
