Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Cape fur seal + African penguins

Summary: Our guests on board Slashfin were in for a beautiful day on the water as we departed into calm waters from Kleinbaai Harbour. Both trips started off with a sighting of the critically endangered African penguin rafts, residents of Dyer Island. The Bronze whaler sharks stole the show, however, with increasing activity as the day went on. Divers were able to see these sharks at their full potential with the underwater visibility. The second trip were also lucky enough to view the Short-tail stingray, wrapping up a fantastic day of wildlife sightings. Thank you to everyone who joined us!
