This morning was an early start for our clients and one where much patience was needed with the first shark taking close to an hour and a half to turn up. However once that shark appeared the activity experienced was nice with a number of known and unknown sharks turning up for our visitors.
The second trip of the day was an exclusive for a family and group of friends visiting from the United States. The sharks were around almost instantly after arriving with the beginning of the trip being dominated by the juvenile sharks however the last two sharks to show their fins were both over the 4.0m length.
The third trip launched to some beautiful conditions however the sharks seemed to be enjoying the nice conditons elsewhere as we only had one small shark show up and then disappear on us again. After close to a 45 minute wait it was decided to move anchor and try our luck elsewhere and within minutes of moving we had a nice active 2.0m shark show up and then were surprised to see a very large dark shadow approaching, it turned out to be a large male just under 4.0m in length and whilethis one did not stick around another male similar in size but very pale in colour and very active giving our patiently waiting guests something to snap their cameras at.
