What an incredible day out on the water! We barely had to wait 5 minutes for the sharks to arrive on the scene! Our crew member, Warren, had his hands full when handling the bait line. One shark in particular was keeping him occupied in the way which it kept chasing after the bait. It was fantastic to watch the game of cat and mouse between the two! The sharks today were very jumpy and spent much of their time out of the water, great for some photo opportunities! Our largest shark today was a massive 4.1 meter gentle giant who came to inspect the boat and then went about his business. The trip out to Dyer Island afterwards gave everyone an appreciation for the beautiful and abundant biodiversity in the area, which is one of our main goals by doing these trips! Great day…

Another successful trip aboard Slashfin this afternoon, sharks arrived quickly and were in top form. We sighted three or four large sharks including bent fin who arrived for a short cameo to wow us with her size before heading off for other sharkey business in the reefs. Other sharks of note were Quickie and the resighted shark from last year with deep scars on her head. Both sharks were literally flying today and keeping Peter on his toes – breathtaking stuff! 10 sharks in total with a size range of under 2 to over 4 meters in total length.
