Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Good

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray + Cape fur seal

Summary: Another day of perfect conditions here in Kleinbaai! On board Slashfin, we departed the harbour into low swell with clear blue skies. The short trip to the dive site was soon completed, and guests were assigned their wetsuits. The Bronze whaler sharks were quick to arrive, with multiple large females cruising past the cage throughout the entirety of the trip, showing off their impressive schooling behaviour. The Short-tail stingray was next to arrive, a marine sighting that leaves everyone in awe! The size and grace with which they move always makes for a memorable interaction! During the time on anchor, the curious Cape fur seal was also sighted, displaying their very own hunting methods as smaller schooling fish were preyed on. Overall, a great time shared between clients and crew, thank you all for joining us!
