Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks

Trip Summary: Today, we experienced a bit of a swell out at sea! Luckily, the sharks were around to make the day exciting. As we arrived at our anchor site, we made sure all our guests were fully briefed and suited up in their wetsuits, ready for their cage diving adventure. After just a few minutes of waiting, we spotted our first Bronze Whaler shark of the day, a juvenile! This meant our first divers could enter the cage and enjoy their shark diving experience. Visibility was a little on the lower side today, but that didn’t stop the sharks from making some close passes, giving our guests fantastic views of these incredible predators! Thanks to all our guests for joining Marine Dynamics today!
