Water temp: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail Stingray, Cape fur seals, Cape cormorants + Giant Petrels

Summary: A bright and early start due to the weather conditions picking up! We launched out of our harbor to a beautiful sunrise and some swell! On arrival our guests eagerly waited for the first shark sighting! And it did not take long, just a few minutes in the first Bronze whaler shark arrived!  Our divers could enjoy spectacular sightings and close encounters! We also had A familiar Short-tail Stingray Who made a few close appearances! On our way back we made our way in to the world famous Shark Ally, were we can guarantee sightings off our Cape fur seal colony! Thank you so much for joining us today!
