“We had an awesome time! Great trip, well organised!” - Yasmin and Myles

Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Good

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur Seals + Giant petrel

Summary: An adventurous day on the water with some windy conditions, but nothing that dulled the spirit of our guests! Arriving on anchor, the shelter of the bay made for more comfortable diving conditions, and divers were soon in their wetsuits ready to join the Bronze whaler sharks. Individuals of varying sizes visited the cage, showing off all ages. Guests were also able to witness some Cape fur seals, some of which were even predating on silver fish species, with additional sightings of marine birds such as Giant petrels, White-chinned petrels and Cape gannets. Thank you to everyone who joined us at Marine Dynamics.
