This Sunday started off with ‘Triple S Diving’ as the morning saw seals, stingrays and sharks! The seals and stingrays were around from the get go however the sharks were a little harder to get in today with a suggestive shadow cruising through our scent trail approaching before heading back out with only a close sighting once we moved anchor. The activity picked up after this with two females moving around the boat, as our female with the distinctive, dark marks on her dorsal fin cruised around before the more active female with scratches on the left side of the dorsal fin made her presence known. The sharks kept coming with another female joining the ranks for the day and two males trrying their luck too including one of our longtime favourite Mini Nemo, the smaller male with a very tiny, stunted right pectoral fin but with the attitude to make up for the lack of fin!
