Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Trip Summary: Today, we experienced some windy and rainy conditions out at sea! Luckily, the sharks were around to make the day exciting. Dressed on land, everybody was ready to witness our beautiful wildlife in the cage. After just a few minutes of waiting, we spotted our first Bronze Whaler shark of the day! This meant our first divers could enter the cage and enjoy their shark diving experience. The activity and abundance was amazing today, giving our guests fantastic views of these incredible predators! Thanks to all our guests for joining Marine Dynamics today!
