The immense ‘Tiger’ was our first shark today and he is looking enormous! It is always wonderful to see sharks we know returning healthy and this animal is one we have had in our database for a while! He has a distinctive bite mark on his head (from another white shark) which has healed really well. Two tagged white sharks showed up on this trip aswell as our infamous ‘mini Rosie’ .The conditions could not have been better with flat seas and clear visibility, all in all an awesome morning at sea!

On our second trip the visibility was just as good as on our previous trip. We spotted ten different sharks during the trip. Some of the sharks were around our vessel ‘Slashfin’ for quite a while and other just passed us a few times before going on their own mission. We also had ‘Cutfin’ around which entertained us well. One of our tagged sharks also showed up, which is always great to see. After an amazing trip and great shark sightings we were heading back to the Kleinbaai harbour.
