Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Broadnose Sevengill sharks + Cape fur seal

Summary: Back with a bang! After a day on land, our first trip launched from Gansbaai Harbour, making our way past Danger Point to the shallows where a thrilling shark cage diving experience awaited our guests. The Bronze whaler sharks did not disappoint, arriving promptly and maintaining impressive activity throughout the trips. Divers were able to have an up-close encounter with large individuals gracefully passing just centimetres away from the cage! To add to the species sighted, a Short-tail stingray made a turn, showing off their sheer size for those on the vessel and in the water. For our last trip, on the day we had Bronze whaler sharks as soon as we arrived oat ur dive site! In the mix of multiple individuals, we had two different Broadnose sevengill sharks around, making some quick but exciting appearances! A beautiful day on the water, thank you to everyone who joined us!
