Day: April 1, 2012

We absolutely love our coastline as well as the high nutrient levels which create our large food webs in the ocean. We have one of the strongest upwelling systems, off our coast, in the world. These factors contributes to the immense diversity in the ocean but it has one large drawback for shark cage diving, it decreases our visibility severely. We had nice big sharks today who were a bit more relaxed and not as active in going for the bait, it was still fantastic to see them make their slow passes. One of our regular sharks arrived on the scene today with fresh scars; it’s never a pleasant sight. The scars could have occurred as a result of several speculative factors, only a closer inspection would reveal the answer. We had an awesome bunch of guests on board who were in very high spirit. It was a pleasure having you on board. Great stuff…
