Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive Site: Joubertsdam

Water Temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze Whaler Sharks, Broadnose Seven Gill Sharks, Cape Fur Seals, Southern Right Whale

Summary: What an amazing start to the day! The weather was great and our divers were ready for an adventure. Not only were our amazing Bronze Whaler sharks active and curious so were sneaky Cape Fur Seals and a Broadnose Sevengill Shark. On our way to our dive site, we were even able to spot a Southern Right Whale in the distance. Our second trip was also amazing with our Bronze Shaler Sharks and a beautiful Seven-Gill Shark around the cage! What an awesome day! For the 2. trip of the day, the wind picked up a little bit but that was nothing to worry about, the Bronze Whalers showed up as soon as we started the chumming and were active throughout the whole trip! We also got lucky to see a Broadnose Sevengill Shark around! Thanks to all divers for joining us today!
