Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seal, Short-tail Stingray, African penguins, Humpback dolphins + Hammerhead shark

Summary: What an incredible day for our guests and crew. On our journey to the dive site we were treated to the rare sight of two highly endangered African penguins showcasing their impressive diving abilities. Upon arrival our guests suited up in their wetsuits and were immediately surrounded by Bronze Whaler sharks. We were also greeted by a massive female short-tail stingray. The activity was phenomenal with more than 20 different individuals coming in close to our divers in the cage. A Cape fur seal also made an appearance, adding to the excitement. While hugging the beautiful coastline we spotted two humpback dolphins and shortly after encountered a cruising hammerhead shark, making this unforgettable day even more special. A big thank you to all our divers for joining Marine Dynamics today.
