Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Warm

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Hammerheads, Cape fur seal, Whale + African penguins, Whales

Summary: What an epic day we had! The weather conditions were perfect – warm and flat sea with extraordinary wildlife sightings! For the first trip of the day, we had an exciting group who couldn’t wait to get out on the water with some sharks. As soon as we anchored, the first Bronze whaler sharks appeared from the deep, and we had numerous sharks around us. We even spotted a whale in front of the boat! We also had the pleasure of enjoying beautiful close-ups of a Short-tail stingray. While cruising back to the harbor, we came across three different Hammerhead sharks and an African penguin! It was absolutely amazing! Our next trip was also very exciting with Bronze whaler sharks giving a good show in the cage as well as seeing some cute seals in the water. We even saw whales and a Hammerhead shark while heading from the harbor!!
