After a small wait, we got blitzed by 5 different sharks in a very short amount of time.  Fortunately our divers were all ready and we were able to get them in the cage right away.  One of the best parts about today was the wide variance in sizes.  We always talk about how the body shape changes as sharks grow and today we were able to clearly demonstrate those differences to the clients on board.  We also had lots of great client questions today, so thank you for making it such an educational day.

What a beautiful afternoon. We had sharks right after we arrived at our dive-site. Although the water  was a bit more murky then the last few days it definitely didn’t affect our sharks. In total we had 13 different great whites around our vessel, Slashfin. ‘Rosie’ a 4.2m female visited in the afternoon. It’s always nice to have her around, she was passing the cage very slowly. Also ‘Mini Rosie’ came by a few times to have a look at the divers in the cage.
