There is no better way to spend your Friday than with some awesome sharks. And the sharks were absolutely incredible today! We started our first trip of the day in almost perfect conditions with no wind and just a little bit of swell. Once we got to dive location our guests quickly jumped into their wetsuits, excited to get into the cage. And just once everyone was done changing the first Great White of the trip made a pass going for our bait. A beautiful 4.5m female with a large scar on her left. What an incredible sight! Already feeling blessed with her presence, we noticed a feisty little female cruising around us and checking us out. And that was only the beginning! Both of them kept coming back giving our guests an incredible opportunity to witness not one but two great white sharks! As the trip progressed, we got ourselves a brief pass from a different Great White at around 2.8m, unfortunately we couldn’t get a gender as the pass was too quick. And just as we thought our day couldn’t get any better, Shaun went for our decoy, giving us 4 white shark sightings in one trip! What a trip!
We launched from Kleinbaai harbour for the second time today, trying to get back to our anchor spot and repeat the luck of the first trip, but as they say you cannot step into the same river twice, the second trip was a very different story, however just as exciting! For our second trip we did a triple S diving! We started of with some Copper sharks, giving us very close passes to the cage. A bit later Shaun came again for a brief visit and then a kaleidoscope of different wildlife began! The stingray kept going after our baits, followed by bronzies and then by a cape fur seal chasing fish around the cage! An absolutely incredible trip full of action and excitement!
