Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Cold

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks & Cape fur seal

Summary: After multiple days on land, it was a treat to head back out of Kleinbaai Harbour towards our dive site within the shallows. The first two trips were rewarded with shark activity within a few minutes of divers changing into their wetsuits. The Bronze whaler sharks used the low visibility to their advantage, pursuing bait lines with stealth and showing off their impressive hunting techniques. Divers even got to share the water with a curious Cape fur seal, a resident of the Geyser Rock colony. Thank you to everyone who joined us on board Slashfin today!
