Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Cape Fur Seal, Short-tail stingray 

Trip Summary: Today has been another incredible day out in the ocean! We had a great team of divers who had an absolute blast! Even today the ocean didn’t disappoint us, we had many Bronze Whaler sharks around the cage. These individuals, as they usually do, have interacted a lot with our guests, leaving them all open-mouthed in astonishment and being able to admire them so closely. Our divers were impressed not only by these beautiful sharks but also by the huge Short-Tail stingray that made her appearance in the middle of the diving experience. A beautiful Cape Fur seal also showed up around the cage. All in all, a perfect day out at sea for Team MD and our divers. It was such a pleasure having you on board today!
