Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Great White Shark, Bronze Whaler sharks, African penguins, Cape Fur Seal

Trip Summary: Both Team MD and our guests had a thrilling day aboard Slashfin today with an incredible sighting of a Great White shark on our second trip of the day! The excellent weather conditions today made the diving experience fantastic! Once again the Bronze Whaler sharks were not long in coming and only after 5 minutes of being anchored did they start visiting us. This beautiful species did not disappoint anyone and they closely watched the divers inside the cage. Bronze sharks are curious and interactive and because of that they always leave us speechless! What an incredible honor to be able to see them so closely in their natural habitat. At the end of the first expedition a Cape Fur Seal also made a brief appearance. The Great White Shark made a quick appearance on trip number two and made our jaws drop! What a highlight!
