Conditions: Overcast start with a gentle swell and warm sunshine towards the end

Our trip today saw all the seasons out at sea! With the rain trying its hardest to pour in the early morning, to the blazing sunshine towards the end of the trip! Enough about the weather though, lets talk sharks! We approached our dive site this morning and dropped anchor, geared our guests up into their suits and started to wait. While we waited, we learnt some fun facts about the sharks and the area and even caught a glimpse of our first copper shark. It seemed however that the shark didn’t want to stick around, so we quickly moved our anchor site and that paid dividends immediately. With activity starting to pick up all our cage divers managed to catch the sharks from above and below the water today! With another successfully trip under our belts we headed back to the harbour!
