Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Warm

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, African Penguins, Common dolphins, Sunfish + Short-tail Stingray

Summary:  This morning we launched from Gansbaai Harbour at low tide, and right from the start the ocean was buzzing with amazing life. On our way toward Danger Point, we encountered a raft of critically endangered African penguins, followed by an impressive sunfish. Soon after, a pod of common dolphins joined us, bow-riding and feeding alongside the vessel. Cape fur seals and seabirds were everywhere, adding to the action. What an incredible start! Upon arriving at our dive site, we were greeted by a few massive female bronze whaler sharks, followed by a short-tail stingray. Thank you to everyone who joined Marine Dynamics today!
