Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: Moderate

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks + Broadnose sevengill shark, Cape fur seals + Humpback Whales

Summary: We had an incredibly enthusiastic group of adventurous divers and spectators join us for today’s shark cage diving trip! Launching from Kleinbaai Harbour, we encountered some rolling swells, adding a touch of excitement right from the start. After a short cruise to our dive site, our guests eagerly suited up in their wetsuits, ready for the thrill ahead. It wasn’t long before the first Bronze Whaler shark made its appearance, and the diving action began! We were treated to some amazing close encounters, with consistent shark activity throughout the trip. To top it off, we were lucky enough to spot the prehistoric Broadnose Sevengill shark and two playful Cape Fur seals. As we made our way around Danger Point, we were thrilled to witness two Humpback whales passing through the area, a truly unforgettable sight! A big thank you to all our guests for joining us today and making it such a memorable adventure!
