Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, African penguins + Broadnose Sevengill sharks

Trip Summary: It was a chilly and early start for our first guests today! As the sun was rising we launched from Kleinbaai harbor in beautiful conditions with a little rolling swell. We had some very excited divers that could not wait for the sharks to arrive! After just a few  minutes of waiting the Bronze whalers appeared in front of the cage, and our first group of divers was ready for the dive experience! The shark activity encrusted throughout the trip with big females around coming in close to our divers in the cage! At the end of the last trip, we had a visit also from a big male Bronze whaler shark, checking the boat, the cage, and of course our divers. All three groups from today also got super lucky to see two different Broadnose sevengill sharks during the trips! Overall a great day with Good sharks and  Amazing guests visiting from all over the world!
