Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Great white shark, Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seal, Short-tail stingrays

Trip Summary: Departing from Kleinbaai Harbour with amazing weather conditions and excited divers has already been a good start to both trips. Once we arrived at our dive site the first shark appeared after a couple of minutes and our divers were ready to get up close with these beautiful animals. Not just the Bronze whaler sharks made an appearance today. On the first trip, 2 Short-tail stingrays were more than interested in our divers in the cage and a Cape fur seal had to show off as well. Throughout the trip, a female Great white shark made several passes in front of the cage, making our divers jaws drop. On the 2. trip of the day, our guests could enjoy sightings of Bronze whaler sharks, a very active short-tail stingray, and two Great white sharks that made a quick visit! What a day!!
