Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray + African penguins

Trip Summary: A sunny start to our guests’ day, warming them up from an early start! Shortly after anchoring, we soon had Bronze whaler sharks all around the cage, from juvenile to mature ages! We were also lucky enough to see a massive short-tail stingray pay a visit, a fantastic sight for both divers in the cage and guests on the boat. On the way back to the harbour, we finished off the trip with a sighting of the endangered African penguin, with a large raft of both adult and juvenile penguins. All in all, a successful day for sightings, we thank everyone who joined us on board today, it was fantastic!
