Location: Joubertsdam

Water temperature: Cold

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Great white shark, Copper shark, Cape fur seals


We got this beautiful large female white shark quite quickly


And soon after that we got a copper shark coming to us


This female was quite sneaky today, surprising us from the deep, but we still managed to have a good look


And another copper shark hyanging around the cage for a bit


Lovely group of people joining us today!


Happy divers keen to get in the cage!


A bit of rain doesn’t stop our Bronze Whalers from approaching!


Getting up close to these beautiful animals really brings out their beautiful colours!


Even bit of rain doesn’t stop our guests from smiling!


Happy divers!!


The first arrival for the afternoon, a Bronze whaler shark


Getting ready to take the plunge, this couple visiting all the way from India got into the water and just the right time.


And there she is, the 4.5m female Great White shark that stole the show!


Multiple approaches from deep but she also gave us the chance to have a good look at her as she cruised on the surface


A big thank you to group who braved the rain in the hopes of seeing a shark! We hope you enjoyed your time with the MD team!
