Highlights: 2nd dive of the day. Got dropped of on the south side of rock and descended down. Started the dive around this pinnacle with rock on our left. No current either direction. A nice Olive Ridley turtle came to say hello and get his photo taken. The we seen a southern tip sting ray below us. Seen many porcupine puffer fish, parrot fish, seargent majors, a few cornet fish, barber fish, butterfly fish, and very good camoflauged scorpion fish. Seen a nice juvenile lettuce leaf nudibranch and directly after that above us was 10-12 foot whale, such a great experience. Yesterday was Sydneys first time diving in the ocean and on her 3rd dive has this whale shark encounter. After the whale shark swam past there was over 25-30 southern tip sting rays swimming in the blue, something I have hardly seen before. Great dives today.
