Day: May 17, 2012

Today was jam packed full of adventure! The swell on the water today turned even the simple action of getting into your wetsuit into a fun activity for the whole family :)! After everyone had their fair share of laughs at each other, the sharks started to arrive on the scene. They were a bit reluctant to breach the surface today, which made surface photos a bit difficult but not impossible as you can see. The divers in the cage were able to see the sharks quite nicely with a few very close passes taking place! I am very happy to have seen so many happy faces after the trip, even though some of our guests were a bit sick, everyone had a good time! Same time tomorrow…

 

What exceptionally brilliant weather we had at sea today, it is seldom that one has such calm waters. We had a very interesting range of clients on board the boat, about 90 % of them were from the United States of America and a good portion was from New York City. The fact that you are more likely to be bitten by a New Yorker on the streets of New York than to bitten by a great white shark did make the other non-American clients nervous :)! I can however say that everyone did survive the dive and left the boat with all their fingers and toes still attached! We had an abundance of shark activity and some great smiles from their pearly whites. Thanks guys…
