Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, African Penguins, Humpback dolphins + Cape fur seal

Summary: Today we enjoyed an unforgettable trip filled with incredible marine encounters. We began the day with sightings of the highly endangered African penguins, ticking off the first of the Marine Big 5. Upon arriving at our dive site, a short-tail stingray gracefully cruised past before disappearing into the depths. The highlight of the trip was the arrival of numerous bronze whaler sharks, which came thrillingly close to our divers in the cage. We were also treated to the sight of a hunting Cape fur seal, and on our return journey we encountered two humpback dolphins. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this amazing experience!
