Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Low

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Bottlenose Dolphins, Cape fur seals+ African Penguins

Trip Summary: Another early start for our first guests of the day! We had great weather conditions for launching out of Kleinbaai harbor today. It only took a few minutes before we spotted a couple of African penguins in the water, which came quite close to our boat. We were also lucky enough to encounter a pod of Bottlenose dolphins just before reaching the anchor site, which was an amazing experience for both the guests and crew. After a few waiting minutes, the Bronze Whaler sharks appeared! It was a great day with lots of wildlife sightings in the bay, from mammals to beautiful sea birds. All our trips were successful and we thank you for joining us!
