    Thresher shark sightings in PG

    my instructor saw three in one dive, at 42-43 meters, diving Kilima Point in the morning.

    smallest is 2.5 meters, biggest is 4.5 meters.

    Very cool! So basically Maggie, you can guarantee me that I'm going to see Threshers?

    But seriously, it's cool to hear of neat critters popping up where they are least expected... You never really know what you'll see on a dive!!!

    not for threshers, they will look too small. stick with the regular lens so you can fill the frame. WA is a crap shark lens.

    Maggie, aren't you supposed to be in HK or something?

    The thread Jigo started with links to Cecilia's site about threshers sighted in the Batangas market mentions Dec thru Feb being the months they pass by Batangas on a migratory route. Illijan Bay and Matoco Point are mentioned as areas they frequent, although I don't know exactly where those locations are, as far as being spots for diving.

    It would be great if sightings were dependable enough to promote dive tourism to see them while they pass by. It sucks to see them chopped up for sale in the market....

    I thought you already resigned from diving and instead, resumed skydiving? (now where is that damn picture?)
