Location: Joubertsdam

Water Temperature: 19.9°C

Depth: 7.6m  

Visibility: 1m

Conditions:  A bit blustery but calm seas and some lovely sunshine

We headed out bright and early this morning in search of the sharks! We arrived at our dive site and prepped the cage, while our divers started to change into their suits. But pretty soon we got copper sharks around the cage, and our divers were eager to check them out from the sharks perspective! We had some stunning close passes by the cage and even a couple of breaches from some of the copper sharks! Remember sharks don’t have knees so they don’t jump, but the breach the surface of the water!! The stingrays joined us again on this trip which is always magnificent to witness their shear size! After excellent shark activity through out the trip and some incredibly happy divers we headed back to the white house for soup!
