With one trip this morning we launched a little later to the shallows. And almost instantly we had copper sharks and 2 stingrays around the boat, so cue the divers and in the jumped. They got some stunning views of the sharks on this dive, with some excellent activity from the copper sharks! Then out of nowhere our first white shark popped up. This was the 2.5m female with the white pigmentation on the left side of the gills. It was a super display from this white shark and a joy to see her back around slashfin! We had copper sharks for the remainder of the trip with awesome activity throughout!
