With only one trip today we headed out a little later. But we headed straight to the shallows to go check out what was going on. As we approached our anchor spot, we saw a white shark cruising around just below the surface. So we dropped anchor and started to get our divers ready. However it seemed that the white shark didn’t fancy showing herself to the divers! We did get copper sharks very quickly and we had stunning activity throughout the trip with these sharks! All our divers managed to get up close to these amazing animals. We managed to enjoy them with some lovely sunshine and our guests on board learnt some interesting facts about this little known species. With another successful trip under our belts we headed back to the harbour, and to the white house for some warm soup and bread!
