Sharky, sharky, where are you?? After no sightings in the bay of our white sharks yesterday , we were curious to see if they had left the area, or if perhaps they were just being a bit shy. We had a bit of a wait, with just over an hour, before a shark was spotted cruising past our anchor line. The excitement built, and our divers hopped in to meet our first shark, Clampy a 3 meter female white shark that we saw just over a month ago. She gave some beautiful passes, then disappeared. After a while more of waiting, a different white shark tried to sneak up on Alfred, our bait handler. This male white shark was a bit larger than Clampy at about 3.5 meters long, and was much more interactive than Clampy was. It’s always amazing to see the unique characteristics in each sharks personalities and moods, with these two white sharks showing distinct differences in their approaches and the speed at which they made their approaches. With the uncertainty of sightings, we were so glad to see that these 2 beautiful white sharks were frequenting our bay.
The second trip of the day was an exclusive for two guests coming through with Chris Fallows of Apex, Simonstown to see if we could show them the Great Whites here in Gansbaai! We were hopefully after hearing the good news from our earlier trip that a White shark had in fact been seen and we headed out onto the bay for a stunning afternoon on sea.
