Date: 26th July, 2005 Vessel: Spoilsport
With only a small group of guests on board this week made for a relaxing expedition. The guests and crew were treated to an extra long wall dive at Rock Arch with it's 300m drop off and big fans and swim through's everyone came out with a big smile on their faces. A minke whale encounter was enjoyed by all guests with Vinnie being unsure whether he should make a dash back to the vessel or actually relax and enjoy the opportunity.

Other highlights were the shark attraction at Scuba Zoo with gray reef sharks, white-tip reef sharks and black-tip reefs sharks all making an appearance. And all guests enjoyed their dive on the SS Yongala with a variety of big and small marine life. A highlight was the manta ray cleaning station on the night dive here, always a favorite with guests and crew alike.

We would like to thank; Vinnie, Dick, Gerrie, Richard and Tracey for making this a fun expedition.

With a great group of guests on board we were treated to an awesome display at Scuba Zoo this week with the sharks being more excited than ever. We had six hours of action from a minke whale at Grouper Gap with everyone getting a close encounter in the water. Underwater highlights included a manta ray, lots of turtles and humpback whales at Wheeler Reef.

The crew would like to thank all our guests for an awesome time.
