Dive 7
Date: 19th June 2000
Place: Outer Reef - Ari Beach, Maldives
Dive Time: 41 Mins Max Depth: 16.3 metres Average Depth: 10.3 metres Water Temp: 29 degrees centigrade

Dive Details: Although this was a dive set out to find a whale shark, I was interested in seeing anything of interest. I saw a green turtle which swam with us for a while. There were quite big schools of Trevally with big pointy tails which had a blue tint to them. We saw a clown triggerfish which was quite distinctive, but unfortunately we didn't see a whale shark. The water was quite cloudy as it was full of plankton, some was quite painful as it stung a little!! Apparently this stinging plankton is a favourite with the whale sharks, however, not today!

Accumulated Time Underwater: 2 Hrs 40 Mins
