Whale Shark Education and Research - Success!!!!!

Yes that's right! Our Whale Shark Education trip got back last night and we are just starting to see the results of the trip!

They snorkeled with whale sharks




Dived with Penelope - our newest staff member - she's only 4.5 meters long.


we got some great pictures that we are uploading into the ecocean database and we can start tracking her global progress.
Of course, there was sooo much more...

Manta Rays, mating leopard sharks, turtles and even ghost pipefish and seahorses for everyone looking at the the reefs.


We are very pleased with the results and feel that everyone walked away better informed, well fed and ...well they all got the opportunity to dive with the majestic fish.


If you are interested, we are planning on a second Whale Shark Education and research trip March 6-8, 2009.



May all your dives be like these....
