Location: Joubertsdam
Water Temperature: 14.8’C
Depth: 11.6m
Visibility: 2.0m
Number of Sharks: 0
Conditions: Little swell with a slight east to south wind.

Lighter conditions today compared to the last few days made for a nice trip out however even with the great patience our guest showed with a 3-4 hour anchor we did not get to see a White shark as was the same for all the other boats that ventured out today.

The end of the trip saw a cruise through Shark Alley to watch the thousands of Cape Fur seals frolicking in the water or basking about on Geyser Rock.

A big thank you to our guests of the day for their patience. The team here at Marine Dynamics highly appreciate the kind understanding our visitors show at this current time and hope to have some good news for everyone soon!
