Location: Joubertsdam

Water temperature: Low

Visibility: Low

Sightings: Great White shark, Bronze whalers and a Cape fur seal


A tiny seal pup making us all go ‘aaawww” in the beginning of the trip


Definitely enjoyed our attention


Some bronzies giving us some nice close passes


Beautiful bronze colour on this copper shark


Some lucky divers getting a shark just next to them


Thank you all for joining us!


We spotted this beauty as she approached on the surface, dove and boom, hit the surface in front of the cage


An estimated 4.5m female Great White shark, such a stunning sighting and such a lucky group


Time to take the plunge for this group visiting from the United States of America


A slightly eerie day with overcast skies, making for a perfect back drop for this White shark encounter


Then the Bronze whaler sharks appeared, making some incredibly close passes by the cage


Dive done and dusted for these South African gents


That lovely Bronze whaler elongated upper tail lobe swishing by


A big thank you to all our guests who braved the rain, chilly conditions and sharks! We hope you enjoyed
