Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Warm

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Broadnose sevengill shark, Short-tail stingray + Cape fur seals

Summary: Today, we were finally back on the water after two days on land due to weather conditions! On our first trip of the day, our divers were lucky to encounter not only Bronze whaler sharks but also a short-tail stingray and the prehistoric Broadnose sevengill shark! Throughout the day, all our trips had incredible close up encounters with Bronze whalers as they came near our divers. While visibility was limited due to the weather, this only played to the sharks advantage as apex predators. A huge thank you to all our guests for joining us today!
