Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seal, Short-tail stingray + Common dolphins

Summary: An early departure from Kleinbaai Harbour today with blue sky and calm water. Our guests quickly changed in their wetsuits and before we were all ready, the first Bronze Whaler shark appeared around us. With some large individuals coming up close to the cage, divers were able to meet our beautiful sharks. We also had the chance to see a graceful Short-tail stingray as well as a playful Cape fur seal. Because of the tide, our first trip came back in Gansbaai Harbour, allowing our guests a good point of view on Danger Point. The departure of the second trip offered a sighting of the energetic Common dolphins, with a large pod surprising us before the shark cage diving adventure of the day. Thanks to everyone that joined us, it was a pleasure having you on board!
