Adventurer 2 Scores Two Whale Sharks Today While Snorkeling
Adventurer 2 Hope to Find Whale Shark
While the Black Pearl is on its 2nd day of the liveaboard trip, the Adventurer 2 is out on its whale shark search.
The liveaboard moved from Raidhigaa lagoon and came near Rangali Madivaru Manta Point, and the first jump into the water was at 7:30. To our surprise we saw a total of 6 mantas at the cleaning station before beginning the hunt for whale sharks.
Whale Sharks Spotted
After getting back to the boat we took off all our gear except dive fins, mask and snorkel and we took off to find our whale sharks. By 11:00 we spotted 2 whale sharks and spent about half an hour snorkeling with them.
The second submersion was at Maamigili Reef, and everyone was hoping that we would come across a whale shark, but instead of a seeing a giant fish, we were met by a few, tiny, ghost pipe fish.
Exploring a Sunken Ship
The last jump for the day was scheduled for Machafushi Wreck (Kudi Maa Wreck). At 15:30 we get in the water and are met with a mild current, and good visibility. Due to excellent conditions we had the chance to explore the whole wreck. The dive began near the reef from Machafushi and we navigated to the wreck.
Once at the wreck we started exploring under the keel where nurse sharks commonly rest. No luck with nurse shark, but we continued swimming thorough the openings on either side to explore inside the cargo hold of the wreck. We then headed up to the deck area and to end the dive returned back to the reef.
The Adventurer 2′s final anchorage for the night is at Dhangethi lagoon and after anchoring all went off to the local island for an evening island excursion.
