Trip 1
We had some stunning action from the Bronze Whaler sharks on our first trip today!
Open wide! This Bronze Whaler female's small but sharp teeth are just out of view here.
Check out the nictitating membrane on this Bronze Whaler shark!
Coming in nice and close to our divers in the cage!
We also paid a visit to Shark Alley to visit our 60,000 strong Cape Fur seal colony on Geyser Rock!
That's all for trip 1! A massive thank you to our guests for joining us on board.
Trip 2
This estimated 3.0m female, whilst a little shy was the star of the first half of the trip.
The Bronze Whalers could be seen for much of the trip, cruising at a distance before choosing their moment to come closer.
Our guests enjoyed a lovely afternoon out on the water as our weather conditions start to clear
Towards the end of the trip sightings started to slow down as the two females disappeared, however, this male Bronze Whaler appeared to save the day!
A big thank you to all our guests! We hope you enjoyed your afternoon on the sea with the MD team.
Trip 3
Beautiful colours on our shimmering Bronze Whaler sharks!
Thumbs up for the Bronze Whaler sharks!
We had some lovely close passes by the cage on our last trip of the day.
A perfect family adventure!
Checking out our divers in the cage.
Despite the Bronze Whaler action slowing towards the end of the trip, our lovely guests were not without entertainment! A massive thank you to Werner our Merman for bringing smiles to our guests and crew alike!!
That's all for today! We hope all of our brave divers enjoyed their day with us, it was a pleasure having you all on board.
