We had just under an hour and a half wait time before our first shark appeared under the decoy this morning, and then they just kept circling. It was all about the adrenaline rush, as the limited visibility meant the divers weren’t seeing the sharks until they were right in front of their faces, and right in front of them they were! We had a 3.8m female, our largest shark of the day, who was continuously swimming right up close to the cage on her passes as if she were asking for a belly rub. We also had some very active jumps on both the bait line and decoy; one shark in particular, around 3.4m, was jumping all over the place in an attempt to take down the decoy.  It’s said that good things come to those who wait, and I think everyone on board today would agree…
