Today was the best visibility I have encountered whilst in Gansbaai! The warm crystal clear water made for the most spectacular dive. Shark action was impeccable and non stop from arrival to departure, with over twenty sharks ranging in size from 2.8m to 4.8m.
Winter has arrived! We had some chilly conditions on our early launch today, but we also had an awesome sunrise with our launch! The sharks were able to raise the body temperature of several clients which made the cold temperatures bearable! It was great to have such a wide range of shark sizes in front of the cage; ranging from 3 meters all the way to “Slash Fin” who was in the range of 4.8 meters! It’s great to see him still hanging around the Island and even better when he decides to pay us a visit! We were also very fortunate to spend some extra time around Geyser Rock; this allowed us the opportunity to spot African Penguins on two separate occasions! Fantastic wild life in the area…
The megalodon shark, an extinct cousin of the great white sharks, could reach lengths of 16m. So how big can white sharks grow to now? This shark fact blog examines the latest research and record catches of white sharks.
