Sorry for my absence - been rather busy recently...!
Hammerheads are on the outside of Jackson - just like every year
One seen at 8.30 am at Ras Umm Sid (can't remember the date, sorry, but about two weeks ago)
Mantas almost daily at the moment - recent sightings at Far Garden, Near Garden, Thomas Reef, Amphoras and yesterday at Tower
Whale shark and Longimanus reported at Ras Umm Sid last week *on the same dive!* nobody from my centre has seen them but the Longimanus was reported as being close to fully grown (maybe 2.5 - 3 metres) although everything looks bigger underwater.
Buleetu - why haven't you popped round for a beer yet!?

WHALE SHARK!
Middle Garden - 20th January - confirmed by three of my colleagues (I was having a day off)
Random hammerhead at Sodfa, for no apparent reason!
