Location: Gansbaai, South African

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seals, Short-tail stingrays, Humpback whales

Trip Summary: Another unbelievable day with Marine dynamics today! Launched from Gansbaai harbour, we hadn’t to wait more than 5 minutes before our first sighting, 2 Humpback whales! After a scenic drive, we finally arrived at the dive site.. Once dressed, the Bronze whaler sharks were shortly around the vessel, ready to welcome the divers into the Atlantic waters. The sightings of Bronze whaler sharks were consistent through the trips of the day, with large females getting up close to divers in the cage with thrilling sightings. As well as the sharks, the large Short-tail stingray also paid us a visit, impressing guests with her size and grace. Curious Cape fur seals were also present around the vessel, showing off the successful predation of bream! Thank you to all who joined us on board Slashfin this morning!
