Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Low

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks 

Trip Summary: We were back on the sea today after two days off due to some not-so-nice weather coming through the area. Whilst there was still a little swell lingering, the wind was slight and the sun shone throughout the afternoon. We had to practice some patience with both of our trips today, but after some waiting we were lucky to have some fantastic sightings of the Bronze whaler sharks. We had a mix of males and females around the boats, and a variety of sizes with some juveniles and adults present including two individuals that we did encounter last week showing up for us again this afternoon, finishing our trips off with a stunning sunset on the way back to land!

A big thank you to all our guests that joined us today.
