We had two trips today with 6 and 5 sharks respectfully. After 2 days off the sea, it was exciting to get back onto the water today but winter has definitely set in. Our first trip had a really short wait before our first White shark decided to make its presence known, cruising up to the boat in the milky water. The first was a 3m male who was very light in colour and we went on to see a couple more who were around the same length.
Many of the sharks on the first trip were nice and active, giving us good views of their pearly whites and really showcasing just how powerful they are. We had a couple of interesting sharks around with one poor guy being unfortunate enough to have a fish hook in its mouth with line still attached. We also had a small 2m shark around which we haven’t been seeing too much of recently. Clarence the 3.5m male also made an appearance and we were lucky enough to get a little more interaction today.
The second trip waited a little longer, round about an hour, for our first shark who was none other than Clarence, it was all smooth sailing from their with the next shark showing u only minutes later. We went on to have 3 more sharks, which was absolutely lovely. Including a very active 3.5m male with a distinctive rosie pigmentation mark on its dorsal fin.
