Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks

Location: Joubertsdam

Water Temperature: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

A stunning start to the day with the conditions from yesterday continuing on to today however half way through our first trip the winds started to pick up and cause some motion on the ocean. The shark sightings did not suffer though as the wind picked up it appeared our shark activity did too. We had a very short- wait for our first shark to appear this morning with a Bronze whaler seen approaching from the back of the boat before cruising under and appearing on the other side right infront of our cage. Through out the trip we enjoyed some fantastic views as the Bronze whalers kept coming, most of which were adult or larger individuals, with two smaller ones seen joining for the trip and mostly female with yet again what appeared to be only two males seen for the morning.

The second trip of the day picked up exactly where we had finished with sharks from the get go! The Bronze whaler sightings continued into the after giving our guests on board and those in the water a beautiful view and an up close and personal encounter when they encountered the sharks from the cage.
