Day: July 25, 2014

We are lucky enough to have many Great Whites visit our vessel whilst out on the water. Some of these individuals are easily identifiable due to scars, pigmentation, tags, notches in dorsal and caudal fins and also missing pieces from their fins. Some have earned names for such interesting, distinguishable features and have also been seen to have distinctive personality traits to match as well! It is my pleasure to introduce a few of our favourites…

Conditions this morning were better than had been predicted, with the seas relatively calm we were able to anchor in the shallows where we have been finding sharks for the past few days…

A misty morning greeted us as we headed down to the harbour today. By the time we reached our dive site, the Geldsteen, the mist had disappeared to reveal a beautiful day…

The clouds were setting in this morning however the water was calm as we set out for the day. We chose to anchor in the shallows again today…

We were back trying in the shallows again today and it looks like that’s where the sharks are at the moment…
