Another week has passed down here on the East Cape and once again it has been a memorable one! Humpback Whales have been sighted every day and we have
managed to get some great snapshots of them breaching. A pod of Dolphins joined us for a while, we marveled as they playfully swam alongside the bow
of the panga. The Mantas have been leaping in their hundreds and we even saw Sharks feeding on a bait ball on the surface, unfortunately they wouldn't
sit still for long enough to ascertain which species, let alone take a photo. Under the sea has been just as impressive, water temperature at depth
has been 70'F while visibility dropped to 20-30 feet for a few days it seemed to bounce back to 40 plus today, not a problem when you are inundated
with so many fish you almost have to push them aside to make any headway! Snappers, Grunts, Leopard Grouper, and Panamic Porkfish in their thousands
are somehow all managing to find accommodation on the reef; add to that the many species of colourful reef fish, Moray Eels, Lobster and Rays and all
the ingredients for a fantastic dive are in place!
