We visited Shark Alley this morning to have a quick look at Geyser Rock and its many Cape Fur seal inhabitants before heading into the shallows to our dive site for the day. The sharks were on the slower side today. Once anchored we had a brief glimpse of “Big Mumma” before she dove back into the depths, we than had a wait of 50 minutes till our next shark. There are many factors that influence our sightings of Great White Sharks on a daily basis after all these are wild animals and are completely unpredictable and therefore everyday is different. Such factors can include and are not limited to the temperature of the water and the dissolved oxygen levels to their basic need to feed, avoid conflict and reproduce. The rest of the trip continued with some very nice shark sightings! We had a small juvenile we have seen a lot of recently who has a calm, but curious vibe to her as she cruises around the boat. Majority of the action came from a large female who provided an up close and personal show for our divers in the cage and also those on Slashfin…
