Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Giant Petrel, White-Chinned Petrel Cape fur seal + Southern right whales

Summary: An early start welcomed the first adventurous divers of the day! Just minutes after launching, we spotted our first wildlife near the shore, a majestic Southern Right Whale! At the dive site, we quickly suited up, as the Bronze Whalers were already making their rounds. Our first group of divers wasted no time getting into the water, enjoying incredible close encounters. We were also treated to sightings of two Short-tail Stingrays and a playful Cape Fur Seal, as well as amazing seabirds gliding over the water! A big thanks to all our guests for joining us today!
