Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks + Short-tail stingray + Cape fur seal

Daily Summary: Another beautiful day on the sea with the sea temperature warming up overnight making things more comfortable for our guests and the sharks. We had a quick start to the trip with two Bronze whaler sharks seen only minutes after we arrived on anchor, with more to arrive throughout the trip. The activity seen from the sharks was also very consistent as they could be seen nearly continuously throughout the morning. Toward the end of the trip, we had a Short-tail stingray approach the surface, whilst it did not break the surface we could track its’ shadow as it glided around and also a Cape fur seal as we were coming off the anchor. A big thank you to all our guests who joined today, we hope you enjoyed.
