We started our day nice and early with a beautiful sunrise on the horizon, another stunning day at sea, making us forget that it is winter. As soon as we got to our dive site we spotted a white shark straight away, but took our time to change into the wetsuits. Our white shark experience began with a beautiful juvenile shark at around 2.4 m long. She was quick and feisty, going for the baits. Minutes later we were lucky enough to witness our 2.8m female giving us quite a show breaching out of the water. On the second cage Shaun, the 3.3m male, appeared being very relaxed and incredibly agile around the cage. And when we already thought our luck couldn’t be any better a beautiful 4.5 female appeared out of nowhere showing off her power and speed. Once everyone had a chance with a white shark in the cage we headed back to the harbour.
WE launched for our second trip once again, hoping to be just as fortunate. We got to our anchor attached to the cage we left behind. Our guests couldn’t wait to get into the cage so the changing process took almost no time. And just as everyone was ready Shaun came from the deep taking us by surprise. He stuck around with us for almost the whole trip coming really close to the cage and letting everyone inside to enjoy him under water. We also had incredible Bronze whalers coming in numbers and giving us a chance to see two species at once. WE were visited very briefly by a small female white shark and a “flat shark”, Short-tailed stingray.
Another successful and exciting day with Marine Dynamics!!!
