Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray 

Trip Summary: Leaving Kleinbaai Harbor this morning in very nice and calm conditions was an amazing start to the day!  Shortly after arriving at our dive side, the beautiful Bronze whaler sharks appeared. They came quickly and stayed around making for some fantastic views both inside and outside of the cage. We were also fortunate enough to encounter a Short-tail stingray which made several passes in front of the cage for our divers.
