Location: Gansbaai, South Africa

Dive site: Joubertsdam

Water temp: Moderate

Visibility: 

Sightings: Bronze whaler sharks, Short-tail stingray, Cape fur seal, African penguins + Bottlenose dolphin

Summary: What a day on the water, filled with fantastic wildlife sightings! The Bronze whaler sharks picked up activity throughout the trips, with a lot of close up action allowing divers to see the sharks at their full potential. Additional sightings of the Short-tail stingray and Cape fur seal were seen at the dive site. The second trip got to see the endangered African penguins before even arriving at the dive site, and a lone Bottlenose dolphin as we made our way back towards the harbour. The effects of fishing debris could be seen, with line wrapped around the dorsal, stressing the importance of supporting sustainable fishing! Thank you to everyone who joined us today!
