Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Broadnose 7Gill, Short-tail Stingray + Cape fur seals

Summary: Another stunning start to our trip today! We launched from Kleinbaai Harbour under clear skies and calm seas. Upon arriving at our final dive site in The Dam, our guests geared up in their 5 mm wetsuits, excited and ready for the adventure ahead! Not long after arriving, we had our first Bronze whaler shark sighting, meaning the dive adventure could begin! The sharks were around the whole trip, also staying deep! We also had a Short-tail Stingray, a Broadnose 7 Gill and two Cape fur seals around for the whole trip! Thanks to everyone for joining Marine Dynamics today!
