We headed straight to the shallows this morning in search of sharks! As we arrived we got our cage in the water and our guests into their wetsuits. It wasn’t long until we glimpsed our first shark though activity started out a little slow. It soon improved and our divers jumped into the cage, we had some excellent activity for our first group of divers, with some stunning close passes and face to face action. Our second and third cages experienced some incredible activity as well. As the trip went on we were also able to log 3 different sharks that were tagged! Unfortunately we also spotted a shark with fishing line wrapped around the head and still hooked. We will monitor over the coming days to see if we can releive the shark of the line. But, with the sun high in the sky we enjoyed a lovely summer morning! With a successful trip ticked we headed back to the harbour for our second trip.
