Marine Dynamics Shark Tours

Location: Joubertsdam
Water Temperature: 15.2°C
Depth: 10.2m
Visibility: 1m
Conditions: Cloudy with a bit of wind but calm seas

Hump day and end of the month, so we were hoping to get sharky this morning! And we were not disappointed, after only a couple of minutes waiting we were joined by some of our copper friends! We had really consistent activity throughout the trip today, with all our divers getting some wonderful passes from these stunning sharks! Snubnose was back to strut her stuff today as well as the shark with a pretty significant bite wound on her left flank. This hasn’t appeared to impact her too much, as she was still nice and active. Although these wounds may look a little gruesome, these sharks have a great ability to heal, and they don’t seem too bothered by the marks! Otherwise a wonderful way to round out the month!

If you are looking to get up close and personal with the great white shark then Great White Shark Diving, and more specifically with Marine Dynamics, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t want to miss. Book and pay online with us and get a free video of your encounter with the world’s apex predator.
