"During our latest trip to Elphinstone Reef we had perfect conditions with little surface movement or waves and a slight southern current. We descended onto the north plateau and within 5 minutes, swimming up from the blue, appeared a young Hammerhead, approx 2 metres in length. Our first group was only able to stay for about 5 minutes, but the second group was lucky enough to swim within metres of the shark for about 10 minutes before it swam off again into the blue. 2 boats, 4 guides and a lot of happy diving guests!"
