Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Low

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze Whaler sharks, Storm Petrels, Cape Gannets, Cape Fur seals

Trip Summary: Our first two trips this morning launched from Gansbaai harbour. Although the ride to the dive site was slightly longer, it was certainly worth it! We had some sightings of beautiful seabirds including Cape Gannets, Cape Cormorants, and various Terns. On trip 1, we also got the chance to spot a few rafts of African penguins, a Bryde’s whale spout in the distance, and a short-tail stingray even came to visit our divers in the cage. At the dive site, all three of our trips had some brilliant Bronze Whaler shark action! The sharks came quickly and stuck around for the duration of the trips which gave our divers some fantastic views both inside the cage and from the boat. On our first trip A massive thank you to everyone who joined us on board today, it was a pleasure having you with us!
