Diver's Notes

!st time Monad Shoal early morning looking for Thresher Sharks
Beautiful sunrise 35 minute boat ride, parked on buoy, drop to 50 ft , 100 m swim to shoal/ wall. Looking to deep water saw 1st shark from distance only. Second shark up into our artea, a couple turns and disappear. Third shark up to top of shoal 2-3 turns, cleaning and then off to North. 3RD SHARK WAS THE LARGEST. Also saw juvenile Whitetip Shark swim by just before 3rd Thresher. Amazing experience, decent pics and videos.
