Another incredible day our at sea! We launched nice and early today, just early enough to catch a beautiful sunrise over the mainland. As soon as we got to the dive location in the Shallows we got ourselves a beautiful Copper Shark, also known as Bronze Whaler. It cruised around us for a bit until the stars of the show came in. The first white shark was a feisty one and a bit too quick fro us to identify it, it was a juvenile shark at around 2.8m. And then chilled as usual Shaun came to check us out, sneakyly trying our lines. To see how really different sharks personalities can be you have to see more than one shark and fortunately today was the day when we had not two but four white sharks coming to the cage. Straight after Shaun a small feisty female came for our baits, showing all her speed and power. When we already thought it was an incredible trip we got ourselves a large female shark named Clampy, she is at around 4.5m leaving everyone in awe with her impressive size! Because of the weather we only could do one trip so we got our cage back onto the boat and headed back to the harbour.
