Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Great white shark, Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Cape Fur Seal

Trip Summary: What a great day! After a few minutes of launching from Kleinbaai harbor, we got the chance to see beautiful and curious Sub-antarctic skuas approaching the boat really closely! Once at the spot, we didn’t have to wait a long time before starting to see big copper sharks swimming around the cage and the boat. We had many females and even a couple of males that were very interested in the divers inside the cage. Not just Bronze whaler sharks, but, without expecting it, a Great White shark also approached the boat today swimming close by. Giving unforgettable emotions to everyone! A big short-tail stingray made also an appearance, leaving everyone astonished by their massive size! Today was special! Thanks to all the divers and non-divers that joined us, It was a pleasure to share all of this with you!
