Water Temperature: Low

Visibility: Moderate

Location: Joubertsdam

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks and Cape Fur seals

Look who's back! It's the Subantarctic Skua, a seasonal bird in this area and somewhat earlier this year than usual.

So close you can see the ampullae of lorenzini, those little spots on the snout that work as special sensing organs for electroreception.

We love seeing such enthusiasm from our guests before they take the plunge into the cage.

The Bronze whaler activity was continuous this morning with some stunning sightings.

The beautiful eye of a Bronze whaler.

Friends enjoying some quality time in the cage.

Down to the left divers!

This small Cape Fur seal was seen multiple times around the boat this morning.

Back to Gansbaai harbour to finish of a great morning.

Check out those small but mighty Bronze whaler teeth.

Perfect day to enjoy the view from top deck whilst enjoying the sunshine.

The Bronze whaler activity continued into the afternoon trip.

13.5ºC water temperature...no problem #daretobare

Cage corner cruise by for this big female Bronze whaler.

A big thank you to all our guests today, we hope you enjoyed your trip.
