Fantastic work done by both Kwezi and Zane allowed for some fantastic photo opportunities! You need to be very good at anticipating the next move of the shark in order to assure that they do not get the bait. Some sharks will hang around for ages and participate in this cat and mouse game for hours, others decide that it is not for them and leave after one or two passes. We had a variety of different shark sizes ranging from 2.3 meters all the way to the 4.2 meter sizes. Despite some people succumbing to “motion distress” on board the trip, the sharks didn’t mind a little bit of extra chum in the water! Thanks to those who made their contribution :)…

We had a very international and diverse group on board today, this definitely allowed for some communication hurdles to be crossed :)! Even though we were all from different parts of the globe, one thing brought us together here in Kleinbaai, our passion for the Great White Shark! Baring that in mind made communication a breeze, everyone knew what I was talking about and where to look as long as I included shark in my sentences hahaha! We had some great weather and perfectly timed, because the clouds are starting to look a lot darker than they did this morning! We had several big sharks around the boat around the 4 meter margin; however they were dwarfed by a massive 4.8 meter female! She just seemed to appear and disappear out from the abyss and cause an awkward silence on the boat. A truly fantastic animal with several “tiger stripes” on its tail making her very recognisable! We will see if we can find her tomorrow…

Even though we have been having some Great Visibility and people might start to think that they have arrived in the tropics, you haven’t! Though the conditions are tremendous, our water temperature has not changed :)!  Our cold nutrient rich waters allow for incredible diversity and splendid shark viewing, but cold waters will always be part of the experience. I have grown accustomed to these waters and I honestly perceive them as being normal; well worth it in the end! We had some very nice passes and leaps in front of the cage to everyone’s surprise and delight! The sharks gave us several toothy moments as you can see on the pictures! Great fun out at sea…

Some of the best visibility that we have had in quite a while around the island! We could see all the way down to the sea bed and beyond. Its days like today that I need to restrain myself from jumping overboard and indulging my desire to swim circles around the boat! Great bunch of people on board today who were very happy with the shark activity, despite the waiting time. It had to happen sooner or later; our zero waiting time had to run out at some point. The delay was only about a half hour, nothing to bad though, well worth it as you can see on the photos! Let’s see what tomorrow brings…

The best conditions needed to host two very successful trips! If the number of sharks today weren’t good enough, then the sea conditions truly put the icing on the cake. We had some very great sharks on our first trip with several ones being in the range of the 4 meter margin. They were very constant and stayed around the cage for the entire duration of our trip! The second trip had the only tagged shark of the day, “Brenda”, which was especially jumpy today. We had two full breaches on our decoy in pretty spectacular fashion. If you weren’t paying attention to the sharks today, you would have definitely missed that photo opportunity! This means that you have to come join us on the trip again! Great news for you :)! See you soon…

A very early start to the day! Everyone looked like zombies entering the front door of the white house this morning. Thankfully our restaurant staff cooked up a special pot of coffee, extra strong and everyone felt right as rain again! Whoever said that caffeine was bad for your health :)! My favourite part of an early morning trip is definitely the spectacular sights of the surrounding nature! Our sharks did not keep us waiting very long this morning, however some of the individual sharks were a bit sluggish. On the flip side of the coin we had some very active smaller sharks that were leaping out of the water. There was a shark for all types, the people who preferred the slow passes and for the people who came to see some flying sharks. As our dive was coming to an end today we could clearly see the weather changing in front of our eyes, hence the reason we had an early launch this morning! Hope the weather holds out…

The best weather conditions we have had in ages! Absolutely no wind or swell with some lovely sunshine made for some tremendous shark viewing. We had two shark trips with the first one launching from Gansbaai harbour due to the low tide! We definitely had a lively bunch of teenagers who just loved to scream every time they saw a shark; my ears are still ringing :)! They had an amazing time with some very intense passes by the cage. Our second trip I believe offered the same amount of shark activity with one added bonus, they were flying! We witnessed two full breaches on our seal decoy and a couple of half ones too. On our first trip we were lucky enough to see a predation take place in the distance, no pictures unfortunately! I will try harder next time! All and all it was a tremendous day, can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us…

The sun has come out today in all its splendour, we have had a couple of really cold days and thankfully today was not one of them. We had a tremendous day of shark viewing; at times we had 5 sharks around the cage at once. If anyone didn’t see a shark today they desperately require prescription glasses fast! The sharks were very relaxed and kept giving us tremendous passes; initially we had the same 7 sharks around the cage. Thereafter the flood gates opened and we started to see more and more and more sharks! “Zane”, “Nemo” and possibly “Lumpy” all made an appearance, its great seeing our regulars at old hangouts! We had a small shark arrive at the very end that had a particular interest in our underwater camera and just kept staring at it; I think Clarence got some amazing footage for our clients. Well done to all…
