Water temp: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Broadnose Sevengill shark, Short-tail Stingrays, Cape fur seals, African Penguin & Humpback whales

Summary: Our guests for today’s shark cage diving adventure arrived at the crack of dawn, eager for an unforgettable day at sea! We experienced stronger south-easterly winds and a slight swell throughout the morning, but the action started quickly when the Bronze Whaler Sharks arrived, providing everyone with incredible close encounters. We were also fortunate to spot other fascinating elasmobranch species, including the prehistoric Broadnose Sevengill Shark and a Short-tail Stingray. As an added bonus, we made our way toward the greater Dyer Island area. Along the journey, we were delighted to encounter a single critically endangered African Penguin. Shortly afterwards, while heading toward Shark Alley, we noticed large splashes several kilometers away, which led us to an exciting sighting of a breaching Humpback Whale! To round off an already spectacular trip, we cruised through Shark Alley, where the Cape Fur Seals were basking in the sunshine. What an incredible day on the water! Thank you to everyone who joined us
