Location: Joubertsdam
Water Temperature: Moderate

What a way to start a new week. The conditions on sea saw a slight swell and wind and clearing cloud cover leading to a pleasant day on sea. The first trip of the day saw the Bronze whalers appear in no time as they made their way into sight and kept our first cage of divers busy ducking under the water for some up close and personal views. During our second cage we decided to make an anchor move after word had reached us of a possible Great White shark sighting, and within moments the telltale dark shadow of the White shark was spotted, slowly cruising deep before approaching the surface at the back of the boat. This was the male we have been seeing for the previous two days, estimated at approximately 3.4m in length he stuck around for the rest of the trip whilst the Bronze whalers, Short-tailed stingray and Cape Fur seal were still around to play.
Back into the bay again for our second trip of the day, the team and new group of guests picked up from where our first trip left with the Bronze whalers appearing quickly and the Short-tailed stingray not far behind. To continue with such a great day we also had the male Great White shark come back for a visit. This shark, over the last few days has shown us some amazing behaviour with some graceful gliding on the surface to some fast paced, exciting approaches from the deep. Before the group headed back to land the Cape Fur seal made its’ presence known again giving the boat a send off back to the harbour.
Sharks, Seals and Stingrays for both trips or what we like to call it amongst the team a successful “Triple S diving” day!
