We had some stunning action from the Bronze Whaler sharks on our first trip today!

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.
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.
Beautiful colours on our shimmering Bronze Whaler sharks!
Thumbs up for the Bronze Whaler sharks!
