Bronze whaler Wednesdays!! And they didn’t disappoint today! Upon arrival at our dive site we had great visibility again and copper sharks around the boat within minutes. So we geared up and got our divers in the cage! The copper sharks have been a bit of a saviour over the last few weeks, and our cage divers were very appreciative of their presence around Slashfin. We had a couple of notable sharks today, one female around 2.5m with a fresh hook in the left side of her mouth. Hopefully she is able to relieve herself of the hook over the coming days, but something we’ll keep an eye out for. The chilled out copper with the distinctive white scar on top of her snout was back and gliding around the cage as well today. We had great action on both trips today, and were even joined by a cheeky cape fur seal for the second trip! A fintastic day yet again!

If you are looking to get up close and personal with the great white shark then Shark Diving in Gansbaai, and more specifically with Marine Dynamics, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience you won’t want to miss.
