Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks + Cape fur seal

Summary We were treated to calm seas and clear skies as we set out on another exciting Marine Dynamics shark cage diving adventure. It wasn’t long after reaching our dive site that the first Bronze Whaler shark made an appearance, sparking immediate excitement among our guests. As our first group of divers entered the cage, the anticipation was electric, and the sharks didn’t disappoint! We experienced fantastic activity throughout the trip, with several close encounters, especially from our large adult females who circled confidently around the cage. Adding to the excitement, a calm Cape Fur Seal passed the cage many times, focused on its own hunting mission! A huge thank you to all our guests for joining us today, what an unforgettable experience!
