Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

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

Trip Summary: Today we had another unforgettable day! Today’s divers were fortunate to have a memorable experience aboard Slashfin, with lots of marine sightings. After only a few minutes of waiting around the boat and cage, we started to see many Bronze whaler sharks. They showed their beauty once again by being admired up close. Both in the water and out on the boat, the view was spectacular! Our divers were also lucky enough to see another species of shark: The broadnose sevengill shark. A large short-tail stingray and a beautiful Cape Fur Seal also made an appearance today. Lots of activity today in our waters! Thanks to everyone who was with us on the boat, it was incredible!
