What a fanastic day to be on the water for some White shark cage diving! The sky was a clear blue and the sun was shining warmly, the seas were relatively calm with a light wind around, it’s hard to find a nicer day. The conditions were great and so were the sharks with a shark spotted only 20 minutes after arriving to the Island. We were graced today by the presence of some of our more well known sharks including “Mini Nemo”, “Little Lumpy”, “Posiedon” and our current frequent visitors. The second trip of the day was an exclusive for a couple visiting from the United States. Whilst the wind had increased into the afternoon it was still a fantastic day to be out on the water! Not too long after we had returned to our dive site we had the first shark make an appearance, it was a juvenile that proved to be quite active till our second shark of the trip turned up and dominated with her estimated 4.3m length! We also had “Alvin” visiting us again this afternoon and like usual he was one of the most active sharks of the day taking us by surprise with his “fast and furious” behaviour! A beautiful day to be out on the water with some impressive creatures…
