Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seal

Summary: We kicked off the day bright and early here at Marine Dynamics, with both our guests and crew ready for action. As expected, the wind and swell started to pick up! Shortly after arriving at the dam, we spotted our first Bronze Whaler shark, and the first group of divers were in the cage! Throughout the morning, multiple sharks made their way close to the cage, giving our divers an unforgettable experience. Despite the windy conditions, it was a successful and exciting morning. A big thank you to all our divers for joining us today!
