Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, African Penguins 

Trip Summary: What a beautiful sunny day today out in the ocean. Trip number one had some absolutely amazing wildlife sightings. We were incredibly fortunate to spot a juvenile Hammerhead shark on our way to anchor and even had a Sevengill shark around the cage for a short while! On trip three, we had the chance to spot a few African Penguins hunting for food. Our divers witnessed some incredible shark action around the cage today. We saw many Bronze Whaler sharks, highly active and curious.  Additionally, there was no shortage of seabirds, beautiful Sub-Antartic Skuas approached us on the ride to the dive site as well as back to the harbor. To finish on a high note, hundreds of Cape Cormorants showed up at the end of the trip, on our way back, passing just in front of our boat. What a beautiful day!
