Day 10: Sharks and Eagle Rays

6 am wake up call as the anchors were brought up to head off to our morning dive location. First dive was a short one due to strong current (basically we sucked air quickly fighting against it). The second dive was amazing. We spent about 40 minutes hooked in at a cleaning station watching 5 grey reef sharks and 3 eagle rays in the current. The viz isn't really great so the pictures could have been better.
Our best shots would have been after we unhooked and crossed the reef to begin our ascent - two reef sharks crossed right in front of us, too bad we'd put the cameras away. Out next dive we spent time on the side of a thila (submerged reef) looking in several little caves which were mainly inhabited by moray eels. The top was covered in loads of coral and tonnes of fish. One person in our group caught a glimpse of a manta and we spent the end of the dive trying to find it without any luck. Another group got a great video - maybe next time.
