It was a bit unusual how the cloud cover started to come in this morning because it was sunny and clear at one point and then suddenly cloudy! We were lucky not to have encountered any heavy rain, only a slight drizzle! The weather did not hamper our diving experience even slightly; the sharks arrived promptly and on queue! “Zane” also made an appearance today and he is always a pleasure to have around the boat! We also had a tagged shark around the boat and she was incredible in her demeanour! Visibility remains good and allows for some amazing shark viewing! Just keep it up Mother Nature…

Crystal clear water, sunshine and amazing shark activity made for another exceptional winter trip with Marine Dynamics today! On arrival at Dyer island sea conditions were a little swelly from the cold front which had just passed days before, keeping us off sea. Conditons soon settled however, and after a ten minute wait we saw our first of 12 sharks! This trip was all about males, with only one female confirmed from the cage. Sizes ranged form 2.8-4.3m. Much to my delight, the very first male shark tagged by us last year ‘Zane’ showed up towards the end of our diving (see our research blog at www.dict.org.za).
