Today has been another sad day for all the shark lovers. All the cage diving companies in town have been without luck to see a white shark. After launching from Kleinbaai harbour we were heading straight to our winter dive site to chum for the apex predator, the white shark. Before dropping the anchor we had a quick look at the Cape fur seal colony on Geyser Rock. We have been chumming for three hours, but haven’t been rewarded with some sharks today. We definitely don’t give up and hope to see them back in our bay soon.
