Water temperature: Moderate

Visibility: Low

Location: Joubertsdam

Sightings: Great White shark and Bronze whalers


Surprise from the deep! Mini Nemo, a male Great White shark made his grand appearance for 2020 this morning


This estimated 3.6m male gave us some jaw-dropping views as he broke the waters surface 


One of our guests excitedly entering the cage


The Bronze whaler sharks appeared briefly for the trip, but retreating when the Great White shark was present


A fantastic start to the day, this trip saw both a Great White shark and Bronze whalers, we hope you all enjoyed


Back at it again for the second trip and Mini Nemo made his presence known again


This afternoon we saw some more relaxed behaviour with a few passes like this one giving us all a fantastic view


Dare to bare for those Great White sharks like our International Marine Volunteers?!


Splash down in front of the cage. Even with limited visibility Mini Nemo made some super close passes by the cage and divers


A GIANT thank you to all our guests today, we hope you enjoyed your time out on sea with the crew and your new acquaintance Mini Nemo
