Another successful trip aboard Slashfin this afternoon, sharks arrived quickly and were in top form. We sighted three or four large sharks including bent fin who arrived for a short cameo to wow us with her size before heading off for other sharkey business in the reefs. Other sharks of note were Quickie and the resighted shark from last year with deep scars on her head. Both sharks were literally flying today and keeping Peter on his toes – breathtaking stuff! 10 sharks in total with a size range of under 2 to over 4 meters in total length.
