23/09/2026

Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Poor

Sightings: Cape fur seal ; African Penguins ; Southern Right whale

Trip Summary: A sharkless day on the water, but thankfully our additional marine life made up for it! We first anchored around the Dyer Island ecosystem and then moved towards “The Shallows”. On the way to the second dive site we spotted a raft of African penguins. Leaving the dive site, we encountered 2 Southern Right whales coming close to the vessel. Thank you to everyone who joined us today, it was a pleasure having you on board!
