We could get used to this white shark lark! We are super happy to have had a few days with white sharks in the bay, and hopefully these guys keep on coming through over the next few weeks! Today we had a stunning start to the day, with a few humpback dolphins spotted on the way out of the harbour. Upon arriving at the anchor site, we got our divers geared up and ready to meet some our sharks. Today was no exception with a copper shark coming to check Slashfin out pretty sharpish this morning, closely followed by a great white!!!! This female is the same 4m female we have seen over the last few days, and we had steady activity from her throughout the trip today. She was not alone though with the smaller 3.6m female joining us in waves as well! She has some nice white scratch marks on her nose which make it a little easier to see her when she is lurking in the murk! We even got ourselves out to the island to go check our shark alley and the seals which was a bit of a bonus for this trip. Later in the day our second trip didn’t have to wait long at all to feast their eyes on some white shark awesomeness!!! With some nice activity through this trip too, we are feeling very lucky to have a couple of sharks chilling in the shallows at the moment!!
