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.

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
