Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seals + Short-tail Stingray

Trip Summary: Today, we had incredible Bronze whaler shark sightings from start to finish, with our divers and spectators enjoying some fantastic close encounters around the boat. From small juveniles to large adult females, the sharks certainly put on an unforgettable show! We were also lucky enough to have a well known Short-tail Stingray making an appearance, impressing our guests with her incredible size and plenty of attitude! From the very beginning of the trip, a female Cape fur seal was also busy hunting around our vessel, adding to an already incredible day out on the water. A huge thank you to all our wonderful guests for joining Marine Dynamics today and sharing these amazing wildlife encounters with us!
