For our second trip we once again headed out to our dive site in The Shallows. Once at our site, our crew attached the cage to the side of the vessel and put us on anchor, while our divers received their wetsuits. Soon our first copper sharks arrived, and our divers climbed into the cage. These beautiful copper sharks stayed active for most of the trip, with an occasional visit of several white sharks, which increased the excitement of the whole experience. Soon we headed back to shore, where our guests finished the trip with some amazing soup and bread. 

As we headed back for our third trip of the day, when we arrived at the site where we left our cage behind, a white shark was already waiting for us. Our divers quickly climbed into their wetsuits, and the moment our crew had the cage attached to the side of the vessel, our divers climbed into the cage. It turned into a spectacular trip, with various copper sharks and white sharks visiting our cage over and over again. As the sun was heading down, we made our way back to dry land, where our guests ended the trip with some delicious veggie soup and homemade bread.
