Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Cape fur seals

Trip Summary: What an exciting and fun day for our divers out at sea today. Amazing weather conditions and great marine visitors. Shortly after anchoring the Bronze whaler sharks caused huge excitement already. Our divers just wanted to get in and see them up close! Not just our divers checked out the sharks, but our visitors came nice and close to see what was behind those bars. After some time two very cheeky cape fur seals stopped by and left our divers and crew in awe by playing with each other and even exchanging kisses! Trip number two also had fantastic action, the Bronze Whaler sharks came fast and remained interactive for the whole trip. We also had a Cape Fur seal entertaining our divers throughout the trip and the beautiful Sub-Antarctic Skuas escorted us to and from our dive site! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us on board, it was such a pleasure having you with us.
