Straight to the shallows this morning in search of some sharks! We arrived this morning and anchored up, in preparation of another awesome shark trip. We had copper sharks around Slashfin within minutes this morning and with our divers geared up, we got them in the cage and up close with these magnificent sharks! We got some explosive activity to start with and activity was good through out our first cage. With plenty of good close passes our first group was super happy with their dive! Cue the next group and into the tropical Atlantic water they got! While 19 degrees is warm for us, some may not agree, and that’s why you get geared up in our lovely 7mm wetsuits to protect from the cold! With our sharks joined by a curious stingray, we had excellent sightings for our trip and a very happy bunch of divers. With that we pulled the cage onboard and headed to the harbour!
