Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Cape Fur Seal

Trip Summary: Another successful day today on Slashfin! Shortly after departing from Kleinbaai harbor, we were escorted to the dive site by several magnificent Sub-Antarctic Skuas. We had a great team of divers who brought much luck! We had numerous Bronze whaler sharks around the cage on both trips, very curious and inquisitive. They allowed us to admire them closely, giving us many emotions and an incredible experience. We also got the chance to admire a beautiful Cape Fur Seal and a massive short-tail stingray made some passes by the cage, coming from the depths. Again from all the crew, a big heartful thank you for joining us today!
