Visibility: 2m
Water Temp: 18.4’C
Sharks Sighted: 9
Conditions: Slight chop

Thrilling trip this morning as all our favourite sharks showed up! Matilda was our first – the 4 meter + female who’s been in fine form all festive season! We sighted her with 20 minutes of arriving and still had her towards the end of the trip. In between her awesome appearances we had 7 other sharks and finally the shark often called the ‘Best in the World’ showed up; Sharkius Maximus… This female is a little larger than Matilda and certainly knows how to put on a show; she dominated the waters around Slashfin and finished off the trip perfectly.
