Day: September 5, 2012

It was great to see the wind decided to subside for today’s trip allowing us to fully enjoy the sunny conditions. We didn’t have the massive sharks today, but they were nonetheless great players who put on a terrific show. Some big breaches with sharks baring all their teeth :). We also had a sighting of a group of penguins with some juvenile ones in-between. There was also one very adorable Cape Cormorant chasing after some fish around Dyer Island, he was not paying any attention to the seals and swam amongst them. Always something new to see…

The South Easter was howling today! Despite the wind we had some great sunny conditions with amazing sharks! The majority of the sharks today were in the range of 4 meters and bigger. The visibility was a bit limiting today, but our bait handlers did an awesome job of luring the sharks nice and close to the cage, everyone saw the sharks. After the shark dive came to an end we made our way back to the harbour. It was just outside the harbour where we spotted two Southern Right Whales having a very “GOOD” time! It was amazing to see such large animals copulating! I’m glad the whales didn’t suffer from stage fright…
