Location: Joubertsdam

Water temp: High

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Cape Fur seals + African penguins


Things weren’t looking so good for the first half of the trip but that was before we spotted a dorsal fin in the distance


Celebrating their 10th Anniversary with some shark cage diving


There she is! A female Bronze Whaler shark, the first sighting of this species in close to 4 weeks now


These brave sisters took to the cage for a second turn, this time one without her wetsuit!


Whilst she was shy and did not approach closely, she was seen on and off for the remainder of the trip


Before heading back to land we visited Shark Alley and took a closer look at the Cape Fur seal inhabitants of Geyser Rock


Our guests seemed quite taken aback by all the pups that are currently on the Island


Back on land! We hope all our guests enjoyed their time out on sea with the Marine Dynamics team
