Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, African penguin + Southern Right whales

Trip Summary: A windy day out at sea, but luckily lower swell as we made our way out of Kleinbaai Harbour. At the dive site, divers were given their wetsuits and ready to join the Bronze whaler sharks once they arrived. Mature females kept up company, with one unique individual with a folded dorsal fin stealing the show! Before departing, we were able to spot an African penguin from our dive site and even a mother and calf Southern Right whale pair. With a great end to the trip, we returned to the harbour to be warmed up with heaters, soup and bread. Thank you to everyone who joined, it was a pleasure having you all on board!
