Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Great White sharks, Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingrays

Trip Summary: What an unforgettable day today! Cloudy skies did not deter our divers who had an unforgettable experience aboard Slashfin! After only a few minutes of waiting, after we anchored, the first Bronze Whaler sharks began to surround the boat. Several female individuals with one male entertained the divers in the first cage, getting very close, and they once again showed all their beauty. After about half an hour the first white shark made its appearance surprising everyone. Not only one, but as many as two female individuals approached Slashfin today. Both were particularly active and curious, they continued to swim around us until the end of the expedition, leaving everyone spellbound and giving us unforgettable thrills! At the end of the expedition, a very large Short-tail stingray curiously watched the divers closely. What a great crazy day! Thanks to all of you who were with us today!
