Today was a three trip day and the conditions were perfect for it! We were on the water nice and early this morning, and that early wake up was totally worth it. We got plenty of copper shark action throughout out trips today, with some of the individuals we recognise quite well. On our first trip we had the super bitten up copper at around 2.7m playing around the cage, giving our divers some super sightings from the cage. We even had a cape fur seal basking in the morning sun to finish this trip up. Activity continued nicely through the day, with another familiar copper shark with the scratched up tail, at around 2.6m, gliding through the water giving us some nice photo opportunities. Interestingly we had a Cape Cormorant around the cage checking out our divers! The cheeky seabird had to have its whit’s about it though as it was nudged from below by a copper shark! All round it was another super, sunny and sharky day on the water!
