Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, African Penguins, Cape fur seals, Short-tail Stingrays + Humpback Whale

Summary: Another day filled with incredible wildlife sightings! On both of today’s trips, our guests were treated to close encounters with Bronze whaler sharks right by the cage. While visibility was on the lower side and there was a bit of swell, we definitely can’t complain with all the action out there! On our second trip, we were lucky enough to spot a sub-adult humpback whale playing with kelp as we made our way to the dive site, a magical moment! We also had sightings of short-tail stingrays gliding gracefully beneath the surface! Thanks to everyone for joining us today!
