Duck pond comes to mind with the conditions this morning! We arrived at our anchor spot in flat seas and no wind. So we got our divers geared up and were excited to see some sharks. On our first trip we didn’t have to wait long for a shark of the copper variety! We had two different copper sharks chilling around the boat this morning with some really nice activity through out the first two cages. With our third cage in boom white shark! And a new male for us as well clocking in at 3.5m and a face full of parasites, he is quite the distinctive looking white shark! He gave us some stunning out of the water shots with an action packed 10 minutes, and then just like that he was on his way cruising around the bay. With our second trip we launched from Gansbaai harbour due to the low tide at the moment, so got some nice views around Danger Point. We got to our dive site and got our divers ready! We had a little more luck on this trip with a total of 4 Great Whites, notably a huge female estimated close to 5.5m. She gave us one pass and was gone, but we had bursts of activity from the other sharks! For our third trip
