Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Cold

Visibility: Good

Sightings: Bronze whaler shark, African penguins, Cape fur seal and Short-tail stingray

Trip Summary: It was an early start for our first divers and spectators of the day, despite the less-than-perfect summer weather. However, the bay was teeming with sharks and African penguins. The divers didn’t have to wait long before the first shark appeared, allowing them to enter the cold but clear water. We were also fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of a short-tail stingray and a cape fur seal swimming around. It was an exciting and memorable experience for all guests and crew!
