Guest Comments:

"Amazing experience, well managed by a crew who clearly get on very well!" - Mick + Kerry

"Wow! What an incredible experience and my first time in the cage! Just breathtaking!" - Bill + Jennifer

Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive Site: Joubertsdam

Water Temp: Low

Visibility: Good

Sightings: Bronze Whaler Sharks + Cape Fur Seal

Daily Summary: What a fantastic day on the sea! We were a little apprehensive after two days of low water temperatures and slow shark activity but we were pleasantly surprised to arrive on anchor in calm conditions and with a slight increase in water temperature along with visibility. What was really outstanding was that our first sighting of the day happened only minutes after we anchored and the shark activity was nearly nonstop for both of our two trips, as Bronze whaler shark after Bronze whaler shark appeared. The adult females dominated the trips, as they usually do, but we did have one male Bronze whaler in the mix. A big thank you to all our guests that joined us today, we hope you enjoyed your shark experience!
