Day: June 17, 2012

Today we had predominently male sharks – perhaps they knew it was fathers day! Due to a North westerly wind picking up we were limited as to where we could dive , so we setlled on anchor in lthe lee of Dyer island just outside the mouth of Shark Alley. It seems that some of the sharks we have been working with on the adjacent side of the island days before, made the same decision.. much to our delight!

Today we had a remarkable trip. After anchoring on a Western Reef of Dyer Island we saw 15 individual sharks some measuring over 4 meters in length! Roughly 70% of our sightings were animals we have been seeing over the last few weeks. ‘Trevor’ named by one of of our interns from England Oliver, stole the show, and at almost 4 meters long this male new he was dominant and entitled to first investigation of the bait line!
