Sightings: Great White Sharks, Bronze whalers, Short-tail Stingray and Cape Fur seal
Location: Joubertsdam
Water Temperature: Moderate
Visibility: Poor
A bright and early start for our trips this morning with some sunny conditions on sea as a small swell lingered and light breeze kept things fresh. The day started out great with triple S diving, that is to say we had sharks, seals and stingrays around the boat this morning. The Bronze whalers were spotted however our fantastic Great White shark activity appeared to keep this sightings to a limit. We saw two juvenile female visit the boat, one fast paced and not sticking to the surface waters for long, the other exhibiting completely different behaviour with slow passes around the boat and cage and close, inquisitive approaches. Two larger males rounded out the White shark sightings with Shaun, the 3.3m shark being one of our frequent visitors throughout the trip and a feisty 3.0m male joining for some exciting views. A Short-tail stingray and Cape Fur seal made for some interesting species interactions and a diverse experience for our guests.
Heading back onto the bay for the afternoon, our first encounter was a Bronze whaler. This shark was around for close to an hour before the White sharks started to come on in. The first another faced paced female juvenile making a few quick approaches to the surface before disappearing and making room for Shaun the shark to come on in. Shaun and our curious little female from the first trip continued to appear for the rest of the afternoon with some slow passes by the cage and sneak approaches surprising us all from deep. The Cape Fur seal was also still enjoying its’ time in the bay, spotted along side the boat as we anchored, it was busy hunting some of the smaller fish in the bay.
