Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Southern Right Whales, Cape fur seal

Summary: A beautiful day out on sea! It is with a blue sky and calm water that our guests made their way to the dive site. Divers were able to have an up close encounter, with large Bronze Whaler sharks gracefully passing just centimeters away from the cage! To add to the species sighted, few Cape fur seals made a turn, showing off their playful behaviour for those on the vessel and in the water. On the second trip of the day, we even had the chance to spot a Short-tail Stingray, and 5 different Southern Right whales. An amazing day on the water, thank you to everyone who joined us!
