During last weekend’s dive at Shelly Beach Al was claiming there was a massive pack of (juvenile) bronze whaler sharks. Knowing full well that it doesn’t count unless you get a picture he was back again this week with Ben and Sam also join the shark-fest.
The conditions were great, light winds, no swell to talk of, good vis and the water still a toasty 22’C. Ben and Sam set off at a leisurely pace (you know you are taking your time when you get overtaken by a cuttlefish), while Al buzzed around on his scooter. 80 min later nearly every Australian fish species had been ticked off, but the marauding pack of whalers were somewhat light on the ground. Apparently, the open circuit gear makes them a bit skittish, with Ben only getting one sap of one from afar.
Still, a bacon & egg buttie with a coffee rounded off a perfect Sunday morning.
