Water temperature: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Location: Joubertsdam

Sightings: Bronze whalers, Short-tail stingrays and a Cape Fur seal


This cormorant was a big hit with the Bronze whalers but lived to tell the tale


One of the two Short-tail stingrays that paid a visit to the boat during the morning


The Bronze whaler action was non-stop with some exciting approaches seen


It’s dive time!


The Bronze whaler, also known as the Narrow-toothed shark, has small, slender but very sharp teeth


Splashing about, causing a commotion seemed to be on the agenda for the sharks today


Nice viewing had by all with some views of surface cruising


Thank you to this jawsome group of shark cage divers!


Plenty of copper shark activity for our second group of divers!


The short tail stingray gave us some awesome activity!!


Our divers getting up close and personal with the sharks!

Beautiful shot of a copper shark lunging out of the water!

Copper sharks gliding up close to our guests in the water!


Awesome day out there with the sharks!


The final trip saw the Bronze whalers showing off for a family visiting from Australia


Moving through the bay we encountered a pod of Bottlenose dolphins


Before heading back to land we made a quick turn by the Cape Fur seal inhabitants of Geyser Rock
