Daily Blog 04 June 2026 | Shark Cage Diving in South Africa

Comments:

Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail Stingray & Cape fur seals

Summary: After a day on land due to high swell and wind, guests and crew were all excited to head out into the bay for an afternoon of shark cage diving! Changing on land for comfort, the hard work was completed so once at the dive site, all we had to do was wait for the arrival of our first Bronze whaler shark. These sharks were active throughout the trip, with individuals of varying sizes offering up close encounters. The sharks were soon joined by 2 different Short-tail stingrays, an impressive sight each and every time. To add to the wildlife, curious Cape fur seals were present around the vessel, showing off more of the local marine life in Gansbaai. Thank you to everyone who embraced adventure and joined us on board Slashfin today!
