Daily Blog 22 May 2026 | Shark Cage Diving in South Africa

Comments:

22/05/2026

Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks + Cape fur seal

Summary: An overcast afternoon launch into the bay, but calm seas and low wind made up for it! Starting with a slight drizzle, clients were provided wetsuits on land, meaning at the dive site we had to waste no time before hopping into the water to join the Bronze whaler sharks. Guests were able to witness sharks of multiple sizes make passes in front of the cage, with some particularly large females showing off today. Around the vessel, some Cape fur seals were also sighted, comfortable between the sharks and providing a charismatic and playful presence, as they do best. Thank you to everyone who joined us today, it was a pleasure having you all on board Slashfin!
