We launched bright and early this morning with the sun peeking through the morning clouds, yet by the time we were on anchor it was a bright and warm morning. Our first shark was on site quickly with a Copper shark making its’ presence known to us and bringing it’s fish friends too. We had consistant sightings for much of the trip as the sharks came and went as they pleased around the boat.

The second trip of the day launched and the Coppers were around quickly and kept coming throughout the trip. We also had a Cape Fur seal moving through our scent trail at one point during the trip but it appeared to decide that it was not the best idea to approach the boat and moved into shallower waters near the beach.

The third and final trip of the day was an exclusive for two guests visiting from . Within moments of anchoring the a Copper shark poked it’s fin out of the water to announce its arrival. A few more were to appear throughout the trip and the two divers enjoyed their time in the cage watching these beautifully bronzed sharks!
