Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Cape fur seal + Short-tail Stingray

Trip Summary: An early launch for our guests today, but favourable conditions awaited us in the bay as we launched from the local Kleinbaai harbour. At the dive site, guests were soon in their wetsuits and ready to get into the cage, blessed with the quick arrival of the Bronze whaler sharks. Mature individuals ensured all were able to have great views of these graceful sharks. Additionally, a Short-tail stingray made a pass. A day full of wildlife! Thank you to everyone who joined, it was a pleasure having you on board Slashfin!
