A different but interesting shot of a Bronze whaler


Family fun in the water


The nictating membrane (inner eyelid) seen in full force here


It is great to see slow, calm approaches from the sharks so to truly appreciate the animals


Nothing like some quality time on sea with the sharks for a father and son


A Short-tail stingray appeared this morning, sporting one big bite out of the right side of it’s snout


Thank you to our first trip guests for spending the morning with the MD team and local marine wildlife


Stunning bronzie showing off her nictitating membrane


Coming so close to us letting us appreciate them fully


Little tiny spy hopping by a bronzie next to us


On our second trip we got to enjoy a short-tail stingray with a bite on a pectoral fin as well


Sharks and stingrays – what a day


We also got quite lucky with the visibility as well


Post cage snaps, thank you guys for joining us


What a beautiful day to be out at sea, was a pleasure to have you all on the trip


After quite a wait we finally got a sighting of a white shark! 


And of course our bronzies were as active as usual


These animals are so agile!


Beautiful schooling species


Lucky divers after the trip!
