Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Cold

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler shark, Cape fur seals, African penguins + Common dolphins

Summary: We had an outstanding day out in the water today, after boarding our shark diving vessel we made our way towards the dive sight. Within a few minutes in the bay we were lucky enough to encounter a raft of critically endangered African penguins. A pod of Common dolphins made a surprise appearance out in the distance and our love for marine animals lured us closer to them, it was a jaw-dropping sight that left everyone amazed but of course we did not stop there. We finally made our way to our dive sight where everyone geared up and started their life changing shark diving experience. There were quite a few Bronze whaler sharks in the area, all with their own unique behaviours that made everyone’s experience fin-tastic. It was lovely having you all on one of our shark diving experiences, we hope to see you all again!
