We launched once again early and got to see a beautiful sunrise out on the ocean. This morning we were the first boat out of the harbour and were heading straight to our dive site in the Jubertsdam. Once arrived and dropped the anchor we have been lucky and saw a shark after e few minutes, how lucky. We had in total seven different individuals around Slashfin. Our biggest shark was estimated to 4m in length. One of our well known sharks, ‘Mini Nemo’, also did spend some time around our boat. He was investigating the bait and decoy several times and swimming closer up to the cage. The shark activity was good the whole morning and we definitely had an awesome time with these beautiful creatures. Towards the end of our tour we spotted the shadow of a short tailed stingray coming closer to the surface. After three hours out at sea we were slowly heading back to the Kleinbaai harbour.
