Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingrays, Cape fur seals, Bryde’s whale & African Penguin

Summary: We had an extraordinary day spent out at sea. After launching from Kleinbaai Harbour, we spotted two Bryde’s whales spending time at the surface. Shortly after arriving at our dive site, the first bronze whaler sharks appeared, allowing our first group of divers to climb into the cage. Throughout the day we enjoyed spectacular sightings, including two short-tailed stingrays and a Cape fur seal. On our departure, we were thrilled to spot a highly endangered African penguin. Thank you to everyone who joined us for an unforgettable day on the water!
