Off we went back to the shallows after a day off the sea due to bad weather. We were hopeful to get our eyes on some sharks after a day without our fix, so we anchored up and got our divers geared up and ready. While we waited for some activity this morning we learned about some interesting shark facts and some interesting information about the islands around the bay. We persevered as we changed our anchor spot in an attempt to find a shark, but unfortunately to no avail. Nevertheless we got some of our eager cage divers in the water and cue the cage dive quiz! We got some interesting answers from our divers, but you know what wrong answers means! Yup that’s right a quick dunk under the water to give off some seal noises to try and coax the sharks towards Slashfin. After a quick dip in the Atlantic we headed over to the island to go check out the seals and shark alley. After a nice cruise through the alley we headed back to the harbour to go pick up our next group of passengers.

For our second trip we made a beeline right back to the anchor site geared up and played the good old waiting game. Even though it was a rather quiet day on the water it was beautiful nonetheless, and we got another group of eager divers in the water this trip as well! It always a bit of fun to grab a coupld of nice pics and take a look at the world in which these beautiful creatures live in. With the sun getting low in the sky and unfortunately no shark activity, we headed over to the island again to let our guests enjoy the seals and shark alley. Hopefully tomorrow is a new day and the sharks come join us for what looks to be a nice day at sea.
