This morning was all overcast but the sky did clear up during the day. But luckily this didn’t affect our sharks. Shortly after droping the anchor we spotted our first great white shark. On both trips we were spoiled and got to see the “Steamtrain” a female great white at around 5 meter. But it was also nice to have a look at the smaller ones, as they were quite active. They were going for the bait and decoy as well passing up and down in front of the cage. We also encountered another well-known shark named “fishing line” as it had a fishing line around its head, before we did cut it free. All in all we had two great trips with amazing animals.
