Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Low

Visibility: Low

Sightings: Bronze whaler shark, Cape fur seal

Trip Summary: It was another early morning for our guests and crew! We launched out of Kleinbaai harbor with some swells, but no wind! On anchor, our divers changed quickly and good was that we did not have to wait for long before a beautiful Bronze whaler shark appeared! Finally! She was active and gave almost all our divers a close look underwater! We also had a playful Cape fur seal around for the whole trip! For the second trip we got lucky straight away! The same Bronze Whaler female appeared after a few waiting minutes! She was around for quite some time! Amazing day for our guests and crew! Our third trip sadly had no sharks but a cape fur seal around the boat. Thank you to everyone who joined us today!
