Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray + Bottlenose dolphins

Summary: An incredible day on the water after a day on land. Launching from Kleinbaai Harbour, no more than a few hundred metres into the bay we were greeted with our first wildlife sighting, the Bottlenose dolphins. After watching these charismatic cetaceans, we proceeded to the dive site where shark activity was on top for the all trip. With non-stop activity, our divers were able to meet our beautiful Bronze whaler sharks and also had the chance to see a Short-tail stingray. Thanks to everyone that joined us today, it was a pleasure to share our wildlife with you.
