Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Short-tail stingrays, Cape Fur Seal

Trip Summary: Today we had really lucky trips out at sea! Only 5 minutes after our arrival at the diving spot, we started to be surrounded by several individual Bronze whaler sharks. They stayed around the cage interacting with us for the whole duration of the diving experience. Moreover our divers today had also the opportunity to admire not only this amazing shark species but also an inquisitive and big short-tail stingray as well as a playful young Cape Fur Seal, swimming around the sharks. With many marine encounters and perfect weather conditions, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Thanks to everyone for joining us on this amazing trip!
