Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Low

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks + Cape fur seals

Daily Summary: We had a quick start to our shark sightings today with our first Bronze whaler shark appearing within 15 minutes of us being on anchor, however after this, we had to practice some patience as the sharks appeared and then disappeared for some time repeatedly. As the day continued the activity picked up and we had some nice encounters as the sharks broke the surface and also came very close to the cage. We also had two Cape fur seals darting around the boat throughout the day, the smallest of which was seen quite frequently. A big thank you to all our guests that joined us today, we hope you enjoyed your shark experience!
