Jamie Edwards Scuba Report from Tofo

21 September 2013

Just a catch up on the diving here at Diversity Scuba. On the 19th we had an incredible Hammerhead Shark dive down at Galleria! Dropping down into the middle of about 30 Hammerhead Sharks has got to be one of the best ways to start a dive! Not only were they seen in the begining of the dive but came back past us another two times, basically saw them throughout the dive! However it was not only the Sharks out there, we encountered a Giant Manta who gave us a quick visit and a big Loggerhead Turtle resting on the bottom. As for the smaller guys, 2 Sea Moths were seen on the bottom. Cant ask for much more than that! 🙂

Ok so this morning we had a bit of a rainy start but the diving was none the less fantastic! First this morning was off to Reggies, once again the visibility had cleared up to around 20-25 meters! It was also a bit of a shark day today as we saw 2 Grey Reef Sharks and 6 Whitetip Reef Sharks. A Large Loggerhead Turtle was found sleeping under a ledge as well as 2 Longnose Hawkfish located near the drop point. Now as for the second dive which was out to Galleria, the shark sightings continued! The begining of the dive was a little quiet but at the end we had the Hammerhead Sharks once again! Unfortunately not as much as a few days ago but seeing 8 together was still magical. Lets hope they going to be staying with us for some time! 🙂
