It was a beautiful morning as we headed out to sea. We arrived at our dive site and our divers quickly received their wetsuits. It wasn’t long before the first Copper sharks arrived and our divers eagerly climbed into the cage. As the trip progressed the activity became better and better. Our guests had an amazing time out on the boat, and soon we headed back to shore, where some delicious vegetable soup and home-made bread was waiting for them.

Our second trip went straight out to the shallows again, and the crew got the cage ready as our divers got into their suits. Water temperature was positively tropical this afternoon, with both our divers and the sharks enjoying some warmer waters. We had beautiful activity through the trip this afternoon, with some of the sharks showing off a bittoo much with some breaching in the distance! As our second group we even spied ourselves a group of bottlenose dolphins close to the shore! We were even joined by a juvenile cape gannet testing its diving skills trying to capture the mullet. With the sun shining we had a wonderful trip and even went to check out the seals over on geyser rock, before heading back to the harbour!
