Whale Watching





Just got back from a great weekend at Maravagi with a bunch of friends - something for everyone - snorkling, diving, boating, surfing and lot of swimming.
I was unfortunate (or not!!!) not to see my first shark swim by 5 metres away from where I was snorkling. Only a reef shark they tell me but a shark is a shark in my book.

What we all saw though was a fabulous pod of pilot whales - probably 30 - 50 in total cruising by our boat on the way home. We turned off the motor and just sat there as they swum 360 degrees around us - many right up close. Was absolutely magical. A once in a liftime experience
